Letter of Intent Form

0 Comments

The attached form is for those who want to home educate their children--that is, homeschool officially by notifying the Florida school district that you, the parent, have taken control of your child's education.

(This form should NOT be used by those using the PEP. Instead they should use the Student Learning Plan that the Scholarship Funding Organization of their choice provides.)

Directions: Print out the attached form and complete it. Be sure to sign the form as a signature is legally required. Submit it to your Florida school district's (county's) home education contact. Most people email it.
If you don't have a printer, you can create your own letter as long as it includes: the child's full name and date of birth, address, parent's name and signature, date, and says something about intending to follow Florida's home education law.

File the Letter of Intent with the district's home education contact.
Emailing is how most send it.

Portfolio Review/Audit: What Should We Expect if the District Audits our Portfolio?

Under Florida law, a school district can ask to view a home education portfolio but they must do so in writing and give 15 days' notice. The district is not required to review the portfolio unless they saw a pattern of nonattendance when the child was previously enrolled in a school--in other words, if truancy was a concern--and then they are supposed to ask within the first 30 days of homeschooling.

I have found FL Homeschool Evaluations to be very efficient and accommodating. Very knowledgeable in Florida law regarding home education. Non-judgemental and encouraging, allowing parents to maintain control of their child's education. Fairly priced, prompt, good communication. Quick turn around on completed forms. We have been well pleased with our experience" Michelle L.

"Mrs. Cheryl is absolutely amazing. Always there to help answer any questions and helps me and my daughter feel comfortable during evaluation. I recommend her to anyone in Florida." Yesenia

"I am so glad I chose Cheryl to evaluate my children. We finished our first homeschooling year in October, and Cheryl made the process painless, and has made me even more excited to homeschool my kids this year. I was so nervous leading up to the evaluation. But Cheryl is great, and is very informative and to the point. I am so thankful I found her. And will definitely be using her again. Thanks again Mrs. Cheryl!!" Mary
