NOTE: This summary is not intended to be, and does not constitute, the
giving of legal advice. Many states have unclear compulsory attendance
statutes, and the courts of those states vary in their interpretation of
the statutes. Therefore, there is no guarantee any state will accept all
of the options for compliance listed under each state. This summary is
not intended to be a substitute for individual reliance on privately
retained legal counsel such as that provided by
Home School Legal Defense Association. |
