A member family in Pennsylvania wondered if state law had changed when they received a letter asking for an additional homeschool affidavit. The letter was mistaken.

A district official told a homeschool family they had to provide their child’s birthdate as part of a school census authorized by state law. We think it’s a policy that needs to change.

A Pennsylvania homeschool family can file an unsworn declaration (meaning no notary signature is required) rather than an affidavit.

Last time, they wanted this homeschool mom to hand in a health form the law doesn’t require. This year, they told her to test her daughter using an exam based partially on Common Core. On both occasions she asked HSLDA for help.

We’re reminding officials what the law actually says.

A Pennsylvania school district tried to demand that homeschool families submit proof of residency. The homeschool regulation only allows them to collect certain information.

A qualified homeschooled graduate was refused a job because a hospital and its background check company didn’t understand homeschool law. With a little perseverance and a lot of support, some surprising things happened.

A homeschool family was rebuffed when they tried to sign up their daughter for the PSAT and AP exams at the local public school. The new policy meant homeschoolers could miss out on college credit and scholarships.

A trade union rejected this student for an apprenticeship because he was homeschooled. But it turned out that wasn’t really their policy.
