LEGAL RESOURCES & HOMESCHOOL STATUTES

As is true of many activities in life, homeschooling has a legal side that must be considered and understood.  In Connecticut, that means comprehending the difference between the law and what are particularly known as the C-14 Guidelines;  it means understanding the difference between what is statutorily required and what is voluntary;  and it means knowing what the school district can and cannot request of homeschoolers.  To increase your knowledge of these issues, please consult the following links:
