SS 1.2
When a student transfers to another school or school system or withdraws from a school for the purpose of home-schooling, written documentation of both the withdrawal and enrollment in an approved program is required.
Purpose:
to comply with student compulsory attendance law.
Commentary/Procedural Points:
This information is to be placed in the permanent record folder and noted on the front.
Careful consideration should be made when custody issues exist. If any suspicions arise, the authorities should be notified.
Once the decision has been made to withdraw a child for the purpose of home-schooling, the parent/guardian must submit their intention to the school in writing.
It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to contact their local Board of Education to inform them of their decision.
A Home-School Consent Form, obtained from the Board of Education, is to be completed within fifteen days and returned to the school.
The school has no further responsibility once the parent has been advised in writing to contact the local Board of Education.
If a student is withdrawn from school and the parents do not provide information on how the student will be schooled, the principal must document the attempts made to determine the placement of the student. In addition, the principal must contact the LEA where the family resides.
