Title: Illinois Homeschooling
Headings: 
Resources
Content: ​While there is no formal procedure mandated by state law, parents or guardians should notify the public school of their intent to home school. Failure to do so may result in the public school marking the student absent and eventually referring the student to a truancy officer. ISBE highly recommends that you give the public school a dated letter (keeping copies for your records) that state you will be withdrawing your student and intend to home school. We also recommend including a copy of the ISBE Home Schooling Registration Form along with your letter to show that you are aware of your obligations as a parent. In addition to the public school, parents or guardians are encouraged to send the same letter and form to their Regional Office of Education. You can find your Regional Office of Education by searching for your County on the Region​al Office of Education Directory .​​​
