NOTICE OF PRESCHOOL/HOMESCHOOL MEETING


In compliance with IDEA 2007 and with state guidance, the White County School System has the responsibility to identify all home school students who may or do qualify for special education. Once identified, the school district must conduct meaningful consultation with the parents concerning the services that may be provided. These services may not be to the extent provided in the public school, but they will be provided up to the proportionate amount of federal funds designated for home school children. A virtual meeting is scheduled on Thursday, October 28, 2021 at 4:30 p.m. in the White County School System’s Board Room.


If you know of or have a home schooled student who may be eligible for services, please contact the Student Services Department at 706-865-2315, ext. 1300 so we may obtain the necessary information to send you a notice and log-in link to join the virtual meeting.

  • Students with disabilities born in the year 1997.

These records will be destroyed as they are no longer needed for educational purposes.
