Read this part first, because it is the whole reason the file is worth twelve dollars rather than nothing. This is general information, not legal advice. Homeschool law is set state by state and it changes, sometimes in the middle of a school year. We are not your lawyers. Before you rely on any entry for a filing deadline, confirm the current rule with your state department of education or a homeschool legal organization.
What we did instead of asking you to trust us: every entry names the statute or regulation it came from and carries a source link, so you can go read the code yourself and check our reading against it. The full set was read in one pass and the review date is printed in the file. We do not keep a separate date per state, so treat that single date as covering all fifty-one.
What is in the file
- All fifty states and the District of Columbia. One entry each.
- Seven fields per state: the notice you have to file and when, minimum days or hours, what records you must keep, testing or evaluation requirements, required subjects, how high school records and diplomas work in that state, and the statute cited with a link.
- A quick reference table at the front, so you can see at a glance whether your state is a low-regulation state or one that wants paper four times a year.
- The complications, written out. Where a state has more than one legal path, and many do, we say so and give the paperwork for each. Alabama's church-school route is not the private-tutor route. Arizona's education savings account and the homeschool affidavit are mutually exclusive, and filing both is a mistake people make.
What is not in the file
No transcript workbook. No course descriptions. No report card, attendance log or portfolio forms. No filled-in notice of intent for your district, because those forms come from your state and change more often than we could keep up with. No legal advice.
Straight answers
Is it editable? Word .docx. Not a picture of a document. Print your state's page, mark it up, take it to a meeting.
What happens when a law changes? It will. Tell us and we will correct the entry and reissue the file to everyone who owns it. That is the deal, and it is the only sensible one for a document like this.
Is this a cut-down version of what is in the $39 system? No. Same fifty-one entries, same statutes, same review date. The cover page is the only thing that differs, and it names this title instead of the system.
Should I buy this or the whole system? Here is the arithmetic, and we would rather you saw it than found it. The three standalone files are $12, $16 and $24, which is $52 for the set. The $39 Records System contains all three, plus the transcript workbook and the guide. So: this file alone at $12 is the cheapest way in and makes sense if state rules are the only gap. This file plus the Records Pack is $28, still under the system. But the moment the course descriptions are in your cart you are at $36 for two files, and three dollars more buys all five pieces. Three files is $52, which is thirteen dollars worse than buying everything.
