A
Hello
and
welcome
to
the
third
segment
of
the
home
instruction
overview.
My
name
is
Jonathan.
Turner
today
we'll
be
discussing
the
home
instruction
process
used
by
each
local
school
system
in
Maryland.
We
would
like
to
highlight
that
all
the
information
shared
today
is
specific
to
home
instruction
or
home
schooling
and
is
not
applicable
to
home
and
Hospital
programming,
which
is
a
completely
separate
program.
A
Let's
revisit
something
that
was
mentioned
in
the
first
segment
of
this
overview:
the
Maryland
compulsory
attendance
law,
the
compulsory
attendance
law.
It
requires
children
between
the
ages
of
5
and
18
to
attend
school
regularly
during
the
entire
school
year.
Children
who
participate
in
home
instruction
are
exempt
from
the
law
so
long
as
they
are
instead
receiving
regular,
thorough
instruction
during
the
school
year,
in
the
studies
usually
taught
in
the
public
schools
to
children
of
the
same
age.
In
short,
that
is
the
definition
of
home
instruction.
A
Once
children
complete
their
home
instruction
program
or
reach
age
18,
they
are
exempt
from
the
compulsory
attendance
law.
It
is
important
to
know
when
making
the
decision
to
home-school
your
high
school-age
child
that
your
child
will
not
be
earning
Maryland
high
school
credits
have
a
transcript
from
the
local
school
system
or
earn
an
official
Maryland
high
school
diploma
being
home
instructed.
A
Should
you
decide
that
you
want
your
child
to
earn
an
official
Maryland
high
school
diploma,
while
on
home
instruction,
the
only
option
is
to
register
and
pass
the
GED
when
students
on
home
instruction
are
16
years
of
age
or
older,
they
may
participate
in
the
GED
test.
Please
note
that
the
students
home
instruction
program
must
be
in
compliance
with
the
home
instruction
regulations
set
forth
in
Komar,
while
the
student
is
seeking
to
pass
the
GED
test.
A
What
this
means
is
that
your
child
must
be
receiving
instruction
in
all
required
subject
areas
as
outlined
in
Komar,
while
in
the
GED
process.
If
all
four
test
modules
of
the
GED
test
are
passed
and
the
student
earns
a
Maryland
high
school
diploma,
the
students
home
instruction
program
will
be
marked
completed.
The
student
will
have
finished
their
home
instruction
high
school
program.
If
the
child
does
not
pass
all
four
test
modules,
then
their
home
instruction
program
must
continue
documentation
to
verify.
Completion
of
the
GED
exam
must
be
provided
to
your
local
home
instruction
office.
A
If
your
child
is
16
years
of
age
or
older
and
does
wish
to
take
the
GED
exam,
you
must
contact
your
local
school
system
home
instruction
office
to
request
the
required
GED
office
home
instruction.
Verification
form
another
option
to
earn
an
official
Maryland
high
school
diploma
is
by
entering
or
re-entering
a
public
school
and
meeting
all
graduation
requirements,
thus
ending
home
instruction.
A
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
decisions
regarding
grade
placement
and
credits
in
the
public
school
are
at
the
discretion
of
the
local
school
superintendent
or
designee,
who
evaluates
and
determines
the
placement
of
the
child
and
any
credits
to
be
awarded
toward
high
school
graduation.
This
evaluation
may
include
the
administration
of
standardized
tests,
examinations
and
interviews
with
the
child,
in
other
words
the
credits
and
grades
assigned
by
the
home
instruction
entity
or
parent
may
or
may
not
be
accepted
by
the
local
school
system
for
grade
placement
or
credit
without
testing
exams
or
interviews.
A
There
are
a
few
things
to
consider
when
deciding
whether
or
not
your
child
should
earn
the
GED
or
graduate
from
a
public
high
school
to
earn
an
official
Maryland
high
school
diploma,
such
as
your
child's
access
to
federal
student,
financial
aid
for
post-secondary
expenses.
A
complete
list
of
the
federal
student
financial
aid
requirements
can
be
found
at
the
federal
student
aid
website.
Please
note
that
state
scholarships
and
grants
vary
in
terms
of
eligibility
based
on
the
GED
contact,
the
Maryland
Higher
Education
Commission
for
details
and
additional
information.
A
Another
consideration
when
deciding
whether
or
not
your
child
should
earn
the
GED
or
graduate
from
their
public
high
school
is
how
it
may
affect
their
employment
eligibility.
It
is
the
employers
discretion
as
to
whether
or
not
they
will
accept
documents
from
home
instruction
as
proof
of
eligibility
for
employment.
Some
employers,
public
and
private
require
a
high
school
diploma.
To
summarize
earning
an
official
Maryland
high
school
diploma
may
be
a
consideration
for
higher
education
and
future
employment
opportunities.
A
Questions
are
often
asked
about
home
instruction
and
enrollment
in
college
courses.
As
stated
in
Komar,
the
home
instruction
program
may
include
enrollment
on
a
part-time
or
full-time
basis
in
courses
offered
by
accredited
or
unaccredited
colleges.
This
means
that
home
instructed
students
can
enroll
as
part
of
their
home
instruction
program
in
college
courses.
As
an
example,
your
child
might
enroll
in
calculus
at
the
local
community
college,
which
will
satisfy
a
math
course
requirement
for
home
instruction.
Please
work
with
your
college
of
choice
regarding
enrollment
requirements
and
options
for
home
instruction
students.
A
Please
remember
that,
should
you
choose
to
pursue
a
part
or
full
time
enrollment
with
a
local
college,
you
are
still
considered
a
home,
instructed
student
and
must
meet
the
Komar
subject,
area
and
supervision
requirements,
although
not
included
in
Komar.
We
will
now
discuss
the
verification
of
identity,
and/or
school
attendance
for
the
Motor
Vehicle
Administration,
also
known
as
the
DL
300
form.
This
form
is
required
for
anyone
seeking
a
driver's
license
permit,
who
is
under
the
age
of
16.
This
form
can
be
found
on
the
MVAs
website.
A
Please
complete
your
portion
of
the
form
and
then
contact
the
local
home
instruction
office
regarding
their
procedure
for
completing
their
part
of
the
form.
This
concludes
segment
3.
We
thank
you
for
viewing
and
hope
you
have
found
this
information
regarding
high
school-age
students
helpful
as
you
learn
about
home
instruction
in
the
state
of
Maryland.
