My child is enrolled in school but I have decided that I would prefer to educate my child at home. Can I be charged with educational neglect for not sending my child to school?

If you remove your child from a school you must officially withdraw the child's name from the school and district office rosters. You must also make sure that you can provide all the proper home school registration materials and curriculum documentation upon request. A decision of this nature should be thoroughly discussed with your child's school administrators.
