617's, 607's and 623's require compliance with stricter rules and regulations because they are bound by the laws pertaining to private schools. Monthly or quarterly visits and evaluations by their school evaluators are often performed. Many families like to keep outside testing to a minimum. Many administrators make attendance mandatory at the monthly or quarterly parent support group meetings. Registration with the state is free while enrollment in a private school will require a fee to cover operating costs for services provided.
Fees vary with each school.
The vision of the group is to set up a network throughout the state for the purpose of enabling administrators of the Private Homeschool movement to interact, exchange ideas, and share successes. It is through this networking that information can be disseminated to strengthen and aid the school and this, in turn, accomplishes their ultimate goal of building godly families.
