I have been told that in the state of West Virginia one has to at least have a college degree in anything to be able to homeschool. I do not know if this is true. Others have told me one can homeschool up to the grade one completed. Ie if you completed up to the 10th grade then you may homeschool your child to that level.
Nan do you know?
I don’t really know, Morgana, but I can find out from Jim Butler’s wife who home schooled her two up until Jim started running for state Delegate.
Got this much from google. Looks like it’s a county responsibility.
The law contains two subdivisions that allow an exemption to compulsory attendance for “home instruction.” Under subdivision (1), the appWest Virginia Code 18-8-1 subsection (c)roval option, the county superintendent and school board must approve a “request for home instruction;” each county determines its own guidelines for homeschool approval and reporting (see below for more details). In subdivision (2), the notice of intent option, the law specifies what a family must do to homeschool. It also requires that a superintendent must obtain an order from the circuit court to stop a family from homeschooling, which means that the superintendent must have proof that a child’s education is being neglected
