Student Testing. When the Department, in order to verify information
submitted pursuant to this Chapter deems it necessary to have conducted
regular achievement testing of students attending the school, Department
officials shall contact the parent representative and a test, a time, and a
procedure shall be mutually designated and established. Denial of student
testing for this purpose, so long as pursued in this manner, shall be cause for
the Department to determine that the exempt school is not meeting
requirements relating to the sequential program of instruction designed to lead
to basic skills in the language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and
health. Therefore, it shall not be deemed an exempt school and the procedure
in Section 006 above will be initiated.

The Information Summary must include:

• a calendar for the school year (July 1–June 30) indicating a minimum instruction of 1,080 hours in secondary schools and 1,032 hours in elementary schools. (For a homeschool, this can be a general statement of when the school term begins and ends.)
• a list of all “instructional monitors” in the homeschool (typically the parents), including their names, ages, and highest levels of education completed.
• a scope and sequence for each grade level being taught.
