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.
