How will a school district learn that a child with a disability is being home schooled?
A parent may tell the school district directly, or provide this information to the ESD when the parent notifies the ESD of the child’s home schooling status. If the ESD learns that a child with a disability is being home schooled, the ESD must notify the child’s resident district. The ESD also notifies school districts, at least annually but sometimes more often, of which students in the district are being home schooled. School districts must have a process for reviewing this list to determine whether any of the students are eligible students with a disability.
