Private School Affidavit Update

Dear California home educators,
On this first day of August, due to a recent policy change by the California Department of Education, many home educators are wondering if they must file their annual private school affidavit today.

We want to set the record straight: California’s law has not changed. California Education Code § 33190 still requires the affidavit to be filed “between the first and 15th day of October each year.”

Here is what has changed. This year, the California Department of Education announced that the affidavit would be available online beginning August 1. You can find more information on the CDE’s website.

This change is primarily to accommodate newly established private schools and parents opting to withdraw their children from public education (though they are not required to file until October). As a result, you can continue to file as you always have, between October 1 and October 15, pursuant to California law.

If you are being pressured by your local school district to file your affidavit now, and you are an HSLDA member, please contact us so that we can assist you. We will vigorously oppose any attempt by a school district to impose extra-legal demands on families, including any requirement that families file their affidavit prior to October 1.

We want to share an additional resource from our friends at CHEA.

Thank you for standing with us to advance the freedom of parents in California to educate their children at home. As a homeschool graduate and a homeschool dad myself, as well as a California licensed attorney, I am excited to be serving you!

If you’re not a member of HSLDA, please consider joining so that we can help you advance the freedom of all home educators in California.

Very truly yours,

Will Estrada, HSLDA Senior Counsel
