Parents are permitted to educate their children at home in accordance with Education Law and 100.10 of the commissioner’s regulations.   Children of compulsory education age must receive full-time instruction taught by competent teachers that is substantially equivalent to that provided at their local public school.   Specific provisions govern home instruction.  Parents must notify the superintendent of schools in writing each year of their intention to educate their child at home.  Parents must develop an individualized home instruction plan, submit quarterly reports and file an annual assessment indicating the student’s progress.  The regulations provide detailed requirements for courses to be taught, required attendance and student evaluation. Parents requesting information regarding home instruction should contact Jean Greenspan @ 881-0600 extension 68306 or the New York State Education website
