Legal Information

Nebraska Education Code For Homeschooling
AN A TO Z RESOURCE
Not intended as legal advice. For your information only.

Exempt (Home) School Program
Parents (or guardians) may educate their child at home by electing not to meet State approval or accreditation requirements (Section 79-1601 R.R.S.). In Nebraska, "home schools" are referred to as exempt schools and are considered non-approved or non-accredited schools.

Frequently Asked Questions (2011/12 School Year)
By filing for and receiving exempt status, parents are electing not to have their child attend a school that meets State approval or accreditation requirements while also complying with the compulsory school attendance law.

Rules & Regulations
Rule 12 and Rule 13 are the rules governing the procedures and standards for parents filing for an exemption. Rule 12 and Rule 13 are the same with the exception of the reason for the exemption and that Rule 12 exempt schools will need to comply with immunization laws.

Rule 12
This Chapter provides rules and regulations governing the procedures for exemption of schools from state approval and accreditation requirements when such schools elect, pursuant to Section 79-1601 R.R.S., not to meet those requirements because they interfere with the decisions of the parents or legal guardians in directing their child's education. Forms on pages 7 and 8 of linked pdf file.

Rule 13
This Chapter provides rules and regulations governing the procedures for exemption of schools from state approval and accreditation requirements when such schools elect, pursuant to Section 79-1701(R.R.S.), not to meet those requirements because they would violate the sincerely held religious beliefs of the parents or legal guardians.

Parent or Guardian Affidavit to Delay Entry into an Exempt School
Parents can delay the start of homeschooling until age seven (7) by filing an affidavit with the local school district.
