Home education is defined by Florida Statute as “the sequentially progressive instruction of a student directed by his or her parent in order to satisfy the attendance requirements of ss. 1002.41 , 1003.01 (13), and 1003.21 (1).” By enrolling in home education, parents/guardians are assuming all educational responsibilities regardless of the mechanism used to educate their students. As a result, home education students are not provided any supports by the district, i.e., books, curriculum, IEP accommodations, 504 accommodations, etc.
