§ 48415 Private School Attendance Verification

• •Kids going to private school don’t have to go to public high school, but only if the private school follows the rules.
• •The private school must send a special paper (affidavit) every year to the state to prove it’s a real school.
• •The school district checks if the private school sent the paper, but this check doesn’t mean the district says the school is ‘good’ or ‘approved’.
• •If the private school doesn’t send the paper, kids might still have to go to public school.

A family wants to send their 16-year-old to a small private school instead of public high school.

The private school must send a yearly paper to the state saying it’s a real school. The school district checks if this paper was sent. If the school didn’t send it, the family’s kid might have to go to public school instead.
