EDUCATION | charter schools Charter schools provide parents a choice in the education of their children — and it is a public choice.

Charter schools are tuition-free; funding comes from federal, state and local taxes. Charter schools are governed by either a board of parents and community members or a private educational-services firm.

The schools have open enrollment with no discrimination or religious associations. To enroll in a charter school, parents must contact each individual school to see if it has openings. If they have more applicants than available slots, an open lottery must be instituted to fill the remaining spots.

Charter schools have several flexible opportunities in their dayto-day operations that do not exist with traditional schools; for example, hiring noncertified teachers, hiring teaching personnel on at-will contracts and negotiating personnel salaries. The state requires 75 percent of charter school teachers in elementary school to be certified, while 50 percent in middle and high school must be certified. However, charter school teachers must follow NCLB requirements for highly qualified staff. All charter schools are required to take the state-mandated tests.

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction Charter School Office oversees charter schools across the state. For more information: North Carolina Department of Public Instruction

home schooling | EDUCATION According to North Carolina law, a home school is defined as “a nonpublic school in which the student receives academic instruction from his/her parent, legal guardian or a member of the household in which the student resides.” Two household schools are permitted.

Parents who plan to educate their children at home must notify the Division of NonPublic Education. The following are state requirements for parents/guardians residing in North Carolina and desiring to home school their children who are at least age 7 but not yet 16 in lieu of conventional schooling.

Requirements Parents/guardians residing in North Carolina and desiring, in lieu of conventional school attendance, to home school their children who are at least age 7 but not yet age 16 must: Hold at least a high-school diploma or its equivalent.

Send to DNPE a Notice of Intent to Operate a Home School. The notice must include the name and address of the

school along with the name of the school’s owner and chief administrator.

Elect to operate under either Part 1 or Part 2 of Article 39 of the North Carolina General Statutes as a religious or as a nonreligious school.

Operate the school “on a regular schedule, excluding reasonable holidays and vacations, during at least nine calendar months of the year.”

Maintain at the school disease immunization and annual attendance records for each student.

Have a nationally standardized achievement test administered annually to each student.

The test must involve English grammar, reading, spelling and mathematics. Records of the test results must be retained at the home school for at least one year and made available to DNPE when requested.

Notify DNPE when the school is no longer in operation.

Recommendations While not mandated by

law, home schools are encouraged to: • Offer instruction of at least similar quality, scope and duration as local conventional schools.

• Maintain at least five hours of instruction with the student(s) each school day.

• Conduct instruction each school year for 180 days.

• Maintain a current daily log, journal or lesson plan book throughout the entire school year detailing time period for each subject each day and information covered during the specified time period.

• Retain records at your school until the student has enrolled in a conventional school or has graduated.

• Administer and score a nationally standardized testing each year during the same week of your choice between March 1 and April 15 by someone not living in the same household as the student.
