9270 - EQUIVALENT EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE SCHOOLS (HOME SCHOOLING)

The Board of Education encourages the enrollment of all school age children resident in this District in public schools or in approved parochial or private schools so that they may enjoy the benefits of a well-planned educational program and the socialization possible in a group environment.

The Board recognizes its responsibility for assuring that every resident school-age child is enrolled in an approved school or is offered an equivalent education elsewhere and designates the Superintendent to act in its behalf.

All requests to educate a child in an equivalent education (home-schooling) program are to be submitted to the Superintendent on the appropriate form provided by the State Department of Education.

The Superintendent shall develop and implement administrative guidelines which ensure that, prior to approval of a home-schooling request and during home-schooling, all requirements specified in the State Department of Education regulations have been met.

The board shall not allow a student who is being educated at home or at a nondistrict school to participate in any of the District's co-curricular or extra-curricular activities.
