Deadline: Before you start (if enrolled)
More details
If your child is enrolled in public school, the administrator of the home-based educational program must meet in person with a school district counselor or administrator to provide written consent to the withdrawal. This in-person meeting requirement does not apply if the student was never enrolled in a public school in the district. No curriculum submission, no board notification, and no statutory waiting period. Keep a copy of the withdrawal letter for your records.
Ongoing
Required subjects
reading, writing, mathematics, civics, history, literature, science
