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.
