There are many sources that have information concerning homeschooling and the
regulations related to it, but be sure to go to your state’s Department of Education
(DOE) site and see what it says. It’s more likely to be up to date and is a good place
to start when planning out what homeschooling will look like for you and
your family. It is mandatory that state requirements are met, and the government
sites are very helpful in finding ways to meet their requirements. Make sure to check
out cites with .org or .gov as they are more reliable. The Home School Legal Defense
Association(HSLDA) has a lot of information concerning the laws of homeschooling
for each state. These are links to the state Department of Education or organizational
sites that have information about
what each state requires to lawfully homeschool.
