Home School Information
In Ohio, a parent/guardian interested in educating his/her child at home may request that the child be excused compulsory school attendance (under section 3321.04 (a)(2) of the Ohio Revised Code) for home education purposes. Home School Education is educational delivery that is directed by the parent or guardian of a child who has been excused from attending school. Under this option, the parent/guardian selects the curriculum and education materials and takes responsibility for educating the child. There is no state financial assistance for families who choose this option.
The Butler County Educational Service Center is responsible for issuing excuses from compulsory attendance for students residing in Lakota, Madison, Monroe, New Miami and Ross Local School Districts.
