You may be concerned with safety issues. You may be displeased with Family Life Education or the lack of character instruction. All of these are good reasons to home school but not to home school under religious exemption. Their decision cannot be based on your qualifications to teach, the methods you use, the curricula you choose, how well your children are doing, or any other issues pertaining to education. Letters are to be directed to the school board, not the division superintendent.
Many families send a letter describing their religious beliefs.
Some may include an affidavit from a pastor or a religious expert that their beliefs are religious, or letters from individuals vouching for the sincerity of their religious beliefs. What to expect If you determine that your family has a bona fide religious conviction against attendance at school, then you must be prepared to articulate your beliefs before your school board. Not all parents will be required to testify before a school board concerning their religious convictions, but some will. Make sure you know the law. Make sure you have good counsel.
