What Vermont law requires when you teach your child at home — the filings, the deadlines, the records — and what it does not require, in writing.
Notice: Parent files annual home study enrollment notice with the Secretary of Education, at least 10 business days before starting.
Ongoing duties: Annual assessment (licensed teacher, standardized test, or portfolio); results retained by family, not submitted, since 2023.
Withdrawal from public school: no codified withdrawal procedure — a dated written notice to the school is the practice, and it creates your paper record.
