The district recognizes the rights of parents to teach their children at home. The district is willing to assist parents in this endeavor if a request is made to the superintendent. Home-schooled students may, upon parent request, be allowed to participate in physical education programs, instrumental and vocal music programs, or other selected options if space and materials are available. Such students must then adhere to regular attendance procedures as established by the school and must avoid disruption of said programs.
Parents are responsible for transportation for students attending selected school offerings.
As used in this policy, the term parent includes legal guardian or person in a parental relationship. The status and duties of a legal guardian are defined in ORS 126.003 - 126.095. The determination for other purposes depends on evaluation of those factors and a power of attorney executed pursuant to ORS 126.030.
