IHBG Policy - Home Schooling
Code: IHBG
HOME SCHOOLING
Wyoming law permits the establishment of a home-based educational program provided to the child by the child's parents or legal guardian or by a person designated by the parent or legal guardian.
Home-based educational programs shall meet the requirements of a basic academic program pursuant to the Wyoming Statutes 21-4-101(a)(vi). It shall be the responsibility of every person administering a home-based educational program to submit a curriculum to the Board of Trustees in care of the Superintendent of Schools each year showing that the program complies with the statute. A basic academic educational program is one that provides a sequentially progressive curriculum of fundamental instruction in reading, writing, mathematics, civics, history, literature and science.
It shall not be the function of the school district to make any judgment about curriculum content. The Superintendent on behalf of the Board of Trustees will review the curriculum to determine if it shows that the program complies with the requirements of a basic academic educational program. Any adverse decision by the Superintendent may be appealed to the Board of Trustees.
The district regards home-based educational programs as non-accredited schools and reserves the right to require appropriate testing or to use any other means it deems appropriate for placement in a grade level of any student entering the district's schools.
