9270 - EQUIVALENT EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE SCHOOLS (HOME SCHOOLING)

The School Board encourages the enrollment of all school-age children resident in this Corporation 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.

All requests to educate a child in an equivalent education (home-schooling) program are to be submitted to the Superintendent. S/He shall inform the parents that later enrollment of the child in any of the Corporation's schools will be in accordance with Board Policy 5463 - Credits From Nonpublic Schools/Home Schools and the administrative guidelines associated with that policy.

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

A resident student may, however, enroll in one or more academic courses with the approval of the Superintendent. Such enrollments will be submitted to the State for funding purposes.
