The Board of Education encourages the enrollment of all school age children resident in this District 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.

The Board recognizes its responsibility for assuring that every resident school-age child is enrolled in an approved school or is offered an equivalent education elsewhere and designates the Superintendent to act in its behalf.

All requests to educate a child in an equivalent education (home-schooling) program are to be submitted to the Educational Service Center Superintendent.

The Educational Service Center Superintendent shall provide administrative guidelines which ensure that, prior to approval of a home-schooling request, all requirements specified in the State Department of Education regulations and the conditions established in Policy 5463 - Credits from State-Chartered, Special, or Nonchartered Schools have been met.

The Superintendent may allow a student who is being educated at home to participate in one or more of the District's co-curricular or extra-curricular activities providing s/he meets the eligibility criteria established for an activity.
