Do public schools offer services to homeschoolers?
This depends on the individual school. Some schools are more flexible than others and may be willing to make special arrangements for homeschoolers to participate in certain types of activities and services. Generally speaking, they are not obligated to provide you with any materials or services if you are not enrolled in the school. Books, band, library access, etc. – these are all up to the principal and/or superintendent to decide on a case by case basis. Don’t expect anything and if they are willing to let your child take music lessons, consider it a bonus, but be wary. You may feel entitled to get something from the school since you pay taxes, but be aware that there could be strings attached. For further insight into this, read: The New Face of Homeschooling.
