You can also check the state statute on homeschooling and read the law regarding your rights, scope, limitations, and requirements. If you have problems interpreting it, give the state homeschool department a call and have them explain the requirements. Then research and talk to other homeschoolers and consult with homeschool veterans about the pros and cons and “dos and don’ts” of homeschooling. For example, in the state of Florida, the governing statute is 1003.21 and 1002.41. In Broward County, Florida, a parent who intends to homeschool their child must report in writing their intention directly to the School Board of Broward County through certified returned receipt requested postage.
