How often must home schooled children with disabilities be tested for satisfactory educational progress?
The same testing schedule applies to disabled and non-disabled children. At a minimum, children who are home schooled must be tested at grades three, five, eight and ten. If a child with a disability does not make satisfactory educational progress at grades three, five, eight and ten, the child must be tested within one year. If that test shows a declining score, the ESD superintendent may allow the child to continue home schooling, or require the parent to place the education of the child under the supervision of a licensed teacher. If the next years’ test continues to show a declining score, the ESD superintendent may require additional testing or supervision or may order the parent to send the child to public school for up to 12 months.
