How Do I File the Required Form PI-1206?
In Wisconsin, we must file form PI-1206 with the Department
of Public Instruction, not asking for permission, but informing
them that we are instructing our children at home. This form
attests that we are not circumventing the school attendance laws
and are providing at least 875 hours of instruction per year
covering at least reading, language arts, math, social studies,
science and health.
