The District of Columbia Board of Education recognizes home schooling as an option for parents. This option allows a parent or guardian to provide instruction to his or her own children, but not for an instructor to teach non-related children in a home setting. This document, compiled by the District of Columbia Public Schools, provides guidelines for parents to conduct a home instructional program. The guidelines include a copy of the "Notice of Intent to Provide Home Instruction Form," along with guidelines for submission. The implications of providing false or misleading information in the process are also addressed, as are procedures for terminating home instruction. Documentation accompanying the guidelines includes the following: (1) "D.C. Law 8-247"; (2) "Final Rulemaking" document; (3) a 1995-96 District of Columbia Public Schools calendar; and (4) "Homeschool Resources," which includes lists of periodicals, organizations, books, and publishers.
