What Nevada’s law requires

The law that allows it

NRS 392.070 excuses a child from public school enrollment and attendance when a parent chooses to educate the child and files a notice of intent to homeschool under NRS 388D.020.

“A parent of the child chooses to provide education to the child and files a notice of intent to homeschool the child with the superintendent of schools of the school district in which the child resides” Nevada Revised Statutes chapter 392 (NRS 392.040, 392.070)

Telling the state or district

The parent files a written notice of intent to homeschool with the superintendent of schools of the school district where the child lives.

“the parent must file with the superintendent of schools of the school district in which the child resides a written notice of intent to homeschool the child” Nevada Revised Statutes chapter 388D (NRS 388D.020, 388D.050)

The notice is filed before homeschooling starts, or within 10 days after the child is formally withdrawn from public school, or within 30 days after moving to Nevada.

“Not later than 10 days after the child has been formally withdrawn from enrollment in public school; or (b) Not later than 30 days after establishing residency in this State” Nevada Revised Statutes chapter 388D (NRS 388D.020, 388D.050)

The district gives the parent a written acknowledgment, which the law treats as proof of compliance with the compulsory attendance law.

“The school district shall provide to a parent who files a notice a written acknowledgment which clearly indicates that the parent has provided notification required by law and that the child is being homeschooled.” Nevada Revised Statutes chapter 388D (NRS 388D.020, 388D.050)

What and how long to teach

The parent prepares an educational plan covering English language arts, mathematics, science and social studies (including history, geography, economics and government), suited to the child's age and skill as the parent judges.

“shall prepare an educational plan of instruction for the child in the subject areas of English language arts, mathematics, science and social studies, including history, geography, economics and government” Nevada Revised Statutes chapter 388D (NRS 388D.020, 388D.050)

The plan is filed with the notice, and the law says each subject does not have to be taught every year.

“This section does not require a parent to ensure that each subject area is taught each year that the child is homeschooled.” Nevada Revised Statutes chapter 388D (NRS 388D.020, 388D.050)

Records to keep

The parent must be ready to show the educational plan and proof of the child's identity to a court if the court requires it.

“The parent must be prepared to present the educational plan of instruction and proof of the identity of the child to a court of law if required by the court.” Nevada Revised Statutes chapter 388D (NRS 388D.020, 388D.050)

Ages the law covers

Nevada's compulsory enrollment law covers children between the ages of 6 and 18.

“having control or charge of any child between the ages of 6 and 18 years shall enroll the child in a public school” Nevada Revised Statutes chapter 392 (NRS 392.040, 392.070)
