February 14, 1997 Superintendent Scott Bean Utah State Office of Education 250 East Fifth South Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 Re: Home Schools Dear Superintendent Bean, This letter is in response to your request for legal advice about the rights and duties of parents and school districts regarding home education in Utah. You have asked ten questions dealing with various aspects of home schools. Before responding to those questions, a brief summary of Utah's home schooling statute may be helpful. In Utah, the authority for parents to educate their children at home is found as an exemption to the compulsory education requirements of Chapter 11, Title 53A, Utah Code Annotated. Basically, the compulsory education law requires person in control of a minor (e.g., parent, guardian, etc.) to send the minor to "public or regularly established private school" during the school year. Cases of willful failure to comply are reported by the school to juvenile court, whose officers are ordered to take immediate action. Willful non-compliance by the person in control is considered a criminal misdemeanor. Utah Code Ann. § 53A-11-101 (1994). The compulsory education law contains several exemptions from the requirement of sending a child to a public or regularly established private school. One such exemption is for home schooling:

GRANITE SCHOOL DISTRICT (UTAH) Agency History #436 CREATION Granite School District was created through a unanimous resolution passed by the Board of County Commissioners of Salt Lake County on December 15, 1904. The newly created district had a population of about 15,000 and served approximately 4,258 students residing in Salt Lake County school representative districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. In the fall of 1992, the board adopted the following mission statement to lead the district into the twenty-first century: "To prepare every student with the knowledge and skills needed for lifelong success in a changing world." [Granite School District Adopted Budget 2001-2002, p. 24.] FUNCTIONS ADMINISTRATION The district is governed by an elected Board of Education comprised of five board members. Each board member is independently elected from a geographic precinct in the district. Board members serve for a period of four years, at which time they may run for re-election. School Board elections are held in November in conjunction with the general election. Board members elect a president and vice president at the time new members are sworn into office. The board directly appoints two principal officers, the superintendent and the business administrator/treasurer. Both positions are established and required by state law. Other administrative employees are recommended by the superintendency and are then approved by the board. The district is also subject to the general oversight of the Utah State Office of Education. This includes a budget approval process that is compliance oriented and is more ministerial in nature than substantive. The district is fiscally independent.

"The mission of Jordan School District is to serve students by providing opportunities for them to realize their potential as contributing citizens and life-long learners. In cooperation with students, parents and community, we are committed to helping each student acquire academic skills, prepare for the world of work, and develop attributes of citizenship necessary in a democratic society. We are dedicated to maintaining a safe environment that promotes individual responsibility, personal achievement, and respect for all individuals." (Jordan School District Annual Report, 2000-2001.)

document.writeln(AAMB1); Friday, January 9, 2004 Governor candidates discuss education By Donna Kemp Spangler Deseret Morning News When it comes to education there's not a lot of difference between the Republican candidates hoping to be Utah's next governor. Five GOP gubernatorial candidates and one Libertarian who attended the Utah School Boards Association's forum Thursday night. All said their No. 1 priority is funding public education, they all support tuition tax credits and they all back the rights of licensed concealed-weapons permit holders to carry guns in schools. And many of them would like to end the animosity between educators and lawmakers. "I'd love the day when people have issues with education that they call their school board, not legislator," said Nolan Karras, a former speaker of the House and current chairman of the Utah Board of Regents. The issue of tuition tax credits has lawmakers and educators on the opposite ends. Tuition tax credits would give tax credits to parents who enroll their children in private schools. The credit would be a portion of the amount of taxes paid to educate that same child in a public school. Educators say tuition tax credits would drain money from an already underfunded school system while proponents say it would free up classroom space in overcrowded schools.

document.writeln(AAMB1); Thursday, December 18, 2003 Reject U.S. funds, Orem's Dayton says By Jennifer Toomer-Cook Deseret Morning News Rep. Margaret Dayton, R-Orem, is preparing a bill for the 2004 Legislature, which convenes next month, that would free Utah of NCLB requirements. "I don't want the schools to be accountable to the feds. And the way this is written, our local school boards will be doing clerk work (for them)," Dayton said. "(NCLB) is a very burdensome, highly intrusive bill. I think it's very deflating to the education community." The No Child Left Behind Act aims to have all children proficient in reading and math by 2014. The act requires schools make "adequate yearly progress" (AYP), by achieving or moving toward proficiency goals on Utah's core curriculum tests, or CRTs, and posting high test participation rates. document.write(Banner("area=dn.local.position1y/adsize=300x250",300,250)) Schools are held accountable for all students' achievement, including ethnic minorities, students with disabilities, those learning English as a second language and children living in poverty. Any deficiency in any group brings down the whole school. One-third of Utah schools failed to make AYP this year. Michael Clara, chairman of the Coalition of Minorities Advisory Committee to the State Board of Education, praises NCLB's strict rules. He believes that without those and other requirements tying compliance to federal funding, the achievement gap between ethnic minority and white students will never close.
