Does the Refusal of Public Schools To Accept Transfer Credits from HBPEP’s Constitute Discrimination?

Posted on by whpa-webadmin

In short, no. Public schools can set the requirements for credits earned in their high school program. As long as all requirements regarding the transfer of credits from HBPEP’s apply equally to all HBPEP students entering the school, public schools may set their own rules regarding the transfer of credits.

If you suspect your public school district is systematically treating some homeschooled students differently from others, against district policy, a good first step is to ask for your school district’s transfer of credits policies in writing. If there are no such policies in writing, you can consider asking why not, and raising the issue to your local school board. You can also reach out to WHPA with information about appearances of discrimination against HBPEP students.

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.
