Document:
Homeschooling is not recognized as a legal schooling option in Kentucky. However since 1979 parents have been educating their children at home operating as non-public schools (a.k.a. private schools). The Kentucky Supreme Court’s ruling in the case of Kentucky State Board for Elementary and Secondary Education v. Rudasill (1979) is the foundation for parents legally educating their children at home.
NOTE: The state of Kentucky considers homeschools as private schools.
The Kentucky Homeschool Law requires you to send a Letter of Intent to the district superintendent. This letter must be sent preferably 10 days before school begins and no later than 2 weeks after the beginning of the public school year. It is acceptable to send the letter later in the school year if you start to homeschool mid-year, or if you move into the area during the school year; in either case, you must be prompt. You must send in this letter each year that you choose to homeschool. This letter must include the names, ages, and addresses of all students that will be homeschooling.
If your child is already attending a Kentucky public school you will need to officially withdraw them before beginning to homeschool. Fill out and send in this Letter of Withdrawal to notify the school that you will be homeschooling. If you do not withdraw your child officially than the school may mark them as absent and charge you for truancy.
The Kentucky Homeschool Law does not require you to meet any specific qualifications in order to homeschool.
The Kentucky Homeschool Law requires you to teach a minimum of 185 days/year.
The Kentucky Homeschool Law requires you to keep records of attendance and grades. Attendance records must kept in a register (this can be in a notebook, on a computer, or in any other way that is easily accessible for inspection). It is suggested by the Kentucky Department of Education that you keep a portfolio of each child’s work to easily show their academic progress. You must also keep records of each child’s grades and the courses that they take.
NOTE: Parents must be ready at any time to allow an inspection by a school director or an official from the Department of Education.
The Kentucky Homeschool Law does not require homeschool students to participate in testing.
The state of Kentucky requires all students to receive vaccinations or submit a waiver. This includes students who attend public schools, private schools, and homeschools.
NOTE: The state of Kentucky does not require homeschooling families to submit their immunization records.
