What Happens with Missed Deadlines
Out-of-Compliance - IHIP and Quarterly Progress Report
You see, when you submit the LOI, the student stays on the roster of the building until the IHIP is received in case families change their mind, We don't unenroll until it is proven that there is a plan in place. That is our educational and legal responsibility. So, when no plan is submitted, we have to investigate further. Our intent with the investigation is to help support you with the IHIP. We know it can be difficult, so we want to help as much as possible.
STEPS WE TAKE:
Email, Phone Calls, and Texts - we will attempt to email, call you or text you first thing, so please make sure your contact information is correct
Certified Letter delivered to the address we have on file - We will send a certified letter hoping to see that it was signed by you and that you received it.
Home Visits - We will attempt to come see you at your home to help you fill out the plan
Child Protective Services (CPS) - as a last resort, we will have to contact CPS as our educational responsibility to come investigate further
If you happen to miss it, we will send a friendly reminder email or text. If we don't hear from you, or if we still don't receive the report after a week, we have to investigate further.

Probation requires a new plan to address deficiencies and can last for a period of up to two years.
Probation.
If a child's annual assessment fails to comply with the requirements of subdivision (h) of this section, the home instruction program shall be placed on probation for a period of up to two school years. The parent shall be required to submit a plan of remediation which addresses the deficiencies in the child's achievement, and seeks to remedy said deficiencies. The plan shall be reviewed by the school district. The school district may require the parents to make changes in the plan prior to acceptance.
If after the end of any semester of the probationary period, the child progresses to the level specified in the remediation plan, then the home instruction program shall be removed from probation. If the child does not attain at least 75 percent of the objectives specified in the remediation plan at the end of any given semester within the period of probation, or if after two years on probation 100 percent of the objectives of the remediation plan have not been satisfied, the superintendent of schools shall provide the parents with the notice specified in paragraph (c)(5) of this section and the board of education shall review the determination of noncompliance in accordance with such paragraph, except that consent of the parents to such review shall not be required.
If, during the period of probation, the superintendent of schools has reasonable grounds to believe that the program of home instruction is in substantial noncompliance with these regulations, the superintendent may require one or more home visits. Such home visit(s) shall be made only after three days' written notice. The purpose of such visit(s) shall be to ascertain areas of noncompliance with these regulations and to determine methods of remediating any such deficiencies. The home visit(s) shall be conducted by the superintendent or by the superintendent's designee. The superintendent may include members of a home instruction peer review panel in the home visit team.
