Public School Classes

Posted on by whpa-webadmin

A pupil enrolled in a home-based private educational program may attend up to 2 courses at a public school during each school semester if the school board determines that there is sufficient space in the classroom. A pupil enrolled in a home-based private educational program and attending a public school under this section may attend one course in each of 2 school districts, but may not attend more than 2 courses in any semester. A homeschooling child attending classes at a public school under this statue is not enrolled in public school.

Because instruction in a public school is provided to children from more than one family unit, these hours of instruction should not be considered as hours of homeschool instruction.

WHPA provides information about homeschooling in Wisconsin. WHPA does not provide specific legal advice to any specific individuals in the context of any specific matters. It is the responsibility of each homeschool administrator/parent or guardian to read original source material and make decisions on compliance for themselves. When you file the PI-1206 Homeschool Report with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, you take full responsibility for understanding and complying with the laws outlined on that form. WHPA does not endorse or provide curriculum suggestions or specific materials for any particular educational approach.
