Will public schools allow homeschool students to take classes in public school ?
The answer to this question depends upon the policy of your local school district. In several legislative sessions, there have been bills introduced to require school districts to allow entry if room is available. In every case, those bills have been defeated. But still, there are many school districts across the state that have official policies that allow non-public school students to take any classes where there are open seats. In the past, school districts charged for those classes – but several years ago Montana Office of Public Instruction issued a ruling prohibiting that. Whether a student is allowed in is strictly a local decision. You need to contact your local County Superintendent of Schools for help, or the office of the School Superintendent (different) of the district you are interested in.
