Louisiana homeschool letter of intent

Yes. The required paperwork depends on which Louisiana option you choose.

For the home study option, apply to the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education through the Louisiana Department of Education. For the nonpublic school option, notify the public school your child attended within 10 days if applicable and report attendance annually to the Louisiana Department of Education.

For home study, apply within 15 days after beginning and renew annually by October 1 or 12 months after initial approval, whichever is later. For the nonpublic school option, notify the prior public school within 10 days of enrollment if applicable and file the annual attendance report around the 30th day of the school term, with the captured HSLDA resource saying no later than 30 days after the school year starts.
