A Note from the Butler County Educational Service Center:

Thank you for your inquiry about home schooling.  Please read the other information included in the Home School section of our website, which describes, among other topics, the most recent regulations regarding home schooling.  If you elect to provide home education for your child, and if you reside in the Lakota, Madison, Monroe, New Miami, or Ross Local School Districts, please submit the following to the Butler County Educational Service Center:

1. A completed and signed “Home Education Notification Form”
2. A brief outline of the intended curriculum and list of textbooks
3. An academic assessment report (This report is not required for first-year home school students)

Once we receive your notification, the Butler County Educational Service Center superintendent will review it within fourteen days.  If everything is in order and all sections correctly completed, he will forward a notice to you, which is applicable for one school year.  In addition, notice will also be provided to the local school district in which you reside.

Please feel free to call Mike Ingram, Assistant Superintendent for Programs, if you have a question or concern.
