State law (Wis. Stat. § 115.30(3)) provides parents or guardians through October 15 to submit their PI-1206 homeschool enrollment forms. School districts may contact parents or guardians about their intent to enroll so they can fulfill attendance requirements and discuss child find activities, but there is no requirement in statute to provide this notification to school districts until October 15. School districts that are provided with an intent to enroll in home school should treat that as an official notification for attendance purposes until an official enrollment form is filed.
Wis. Stat. § 115.001(3g) defines a home-based private educational program as “a program of educational instruction provided to a child by the child's parent or guardian or by a person designated by the parent or guardian. An instructional program provided to more than one family unit does not constitute a home-based private educational program.”
