From whom do I obtain permission to homeschool?

You already have permission, through your inherent rights as a parent. These rights are protected by the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin, and the laws of the State of Wisconsin. You do not need to ask permission from any government agent or agency to homeschool your child. When you properly file the PI-1206 Homeschool Report, you are reporting the enrollment of your homeschool and affirming you are meeting your legal duties.

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.
