Parent Home Education Resources

Home education is the sequentially progressive instruction of a student directed by his/her parent or guardian, in order to satisfy the requirement for compulsory education. According to the Home Education statute, section 1002.41, F.S., parents have 3 statutory requirements:

1. File a Letter of Intent with the school district that you reside in. A list of Home Education coordinators can be found here: Home Education District Contacts.
2. Annual Evaluations are to be turned in to the school district that you reside in.
3. File a Letter of Termination with the school district that you reside in when you have completed your home education program.
