nancypantsgirl Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hello all. I'm sure there has probably been complete turnover since I was last here, it's been so long. At least partial turnover. I used to be just plain nancypants but once upon a time when purposing to disembark from the Good Ship Internet I created a password that I could not crack and it worked. :lol: Anyway, I'm really just here to ask a few questions of California homeschoolers. We moved back to California almost two years ago. Up until now we have been with a public charter school. Until recently I was willing to jump through the various and sundry hoops laid before us in order to get the funding. However they have recently changed the monthly reporting rules and they have become very onerous. I didn't mind compiling a monthly narrative of our school activities but now we must go through and check off a bazillion state standards. I hate those cursed state standards. When they were a "loose guide" I could hang with it. Now that the school is feeling more district/state pressure and passing it on to the parents it has become too onerous and just too many hoops. All of that to say that I need any pearls of wisdom on filing an affidavit. Anything I should be aware of? Anyone who wants to say, "Piece of cake. Fill it out, sign, send. Done. Repeat next year." I would welcome that. :bigear: Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is extremely painless, especially in comparision to the monthly reports. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancypantsgirl Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Jilly, I think I love you. Those were just the words my itching ears wanted to hear. :D Did you file it before or after giving notice to your charter school? I'm rearin' to go and would just fill it out tonight but I'm not wanting to complicate anything somehow by doing it too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rearin' to go and would just fill it out tonight but I'm not wanting to complicate anything somehow by doing it too soon. I filed it before I withdrew, and when I withdrew the kids, the school asked if I had filed it. I was very happy to say I had. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget-Me-Not Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yup, fill it out, turn it in, then notify the school where your children are enrolled that they are no longer enrolled now and are now enrolled at [whatever you named your private school]. Super easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
