MarkT Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I am reading a long document about online schooling and I came across this: "Part-time online enrollment combined with part-time homeschool. This is a smallercategory, but one that the district expects to grow. Oregon law is unusual in that it allowsstudents to enroll in a public school for between one and three courses; in these cases theschool receives part-time funding for the student that is equal to half of the funding fora full-time student. This funding mechanism allows the district to offer online courses tostudents who are also homeschooled. " Oregon seems like a progressive state when it comes to homeschooling versus other states.

snowbeltmom Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 My state also has this option. It also permits homeschoolers and private schooled students that live in the district to participate in all the public school extracurricular activities, including sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Wish ours did... But I am very grateful that other states do. Hopefully they will set a good example... Edited April 30, 2017 by OneStepAtATime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I think it really depends on the specific school/district and if they have space. I have known families to do this part-time option at a local brick and mortar, then be told the next year, due to overcrowding, they had to enroll full-time or not at all. But overall, Oregon has pretty ok homeschool laws. We have to register, test during particular grade levels, and get our districts sign-off for the DMV (kind of weird to me) before getting driver's permit, at least that was the rule when my oldest started driving. I am not sure I would consider them progressive, I think it just helps fund the schools if they get more students into the classrooms, but maybe that is negative thinking on my part.

JoJosMom Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Our state mandates that homeschoolers be allowed to participate in the public schools to the extent desired. Now getting the local administrators to actually follow the law is another thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
