Legal Information

Georgia Education Code For Homeschooling UPDATED JUNE 4, 2012
AN A TO Z RESOURCE
Not intended as legal advice. Laws for your information only.

HB 39: Georgia homeschooling law changes
Some changes have been made to the homeschooling law in Georgia, and they will go into affect in the 2012-2013 school year. There are two major changes that homeschoolers need to be aware of. The first is that they will no longer turn in their paperwork to their local school districts. Now they will report directly to the Department of Education. The second major change is that homeschoolers will only be required to turn in attendance forms once a year to the Department of Education. Currently homeschoolers have to turn in a monthly attendance form to their local school district.

Declaration of Intent and Yearly Attendance forms
Effective as of July 1, 2012, home school Declaration of Intent and Yearly Attendance forms are now submitted to the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE). These forms should be submitted electronically using the GaDOE website. Upon submitting the Declaration of Intent, a Thank You for Your Submission screen will appear. To print/save a copy of the Declaration of Intent with your 36 unique character digital parent signature select "HERE", in red text.

HomeschoolCompliance.com
You can file your GA Home School Declaration of Intent and Attendance forms online. We provide return receipt (proof that your forms were received) and 12 years of offsite backup.

Declaration of Intent and Attendance Forms
HEIR provides copies of the legal forms in several formats as well as advice about filling not just these forms but how to deal with modified copies you may be asked to fill out. Declaration of Intent in Word format

How to Get Started
Okay, I understand the Georgia home school law and requirements, now I am ready to "get the ball rolling". How do I get started? Information and forms from GHEA.

Monthly Attendance Form
Formatted for most word processors.

Monthly Attendance Form
Acrobat format to print out and handwrite in attendance.

Drivers License Hurdles for Homeschoolers in Georgia
