• If you choose to home educate your child(ren), you will need to complete a Home Education Notification Form and return it to the ESC along with a list of textbooks and the curriculum that you will be using in home education. If this is not your child(ren)’s first year of home education, you will also need to send an academic assessment report of your child(ren) for the previous school year as required by Ohio Administrative Code 3301-34-04. The assessment shall include either the results of a nationally normed, standardized achievements test or a written narrative prepared by a licensed teacher. The assessment should be submitted to our office along with the notification form and all other necessary information before the first day of school for your child(ren)’s district.
