What are my legal responsibilities as a homeschool parent in Orange County Florida?

  1. Submit your notice of intent to the Superintendent in Orange County.

I started my teaching career student teaching in an Elementary School Special Education class. I taught Middle School and High School Math and Computer classes. In a homeschool coop I taught preschool through 3rd grade students. I have tutored Math and computers privately for 30 years. Most importantly, I homeschool my children.  My oldest two are  now Dual Enrolled.    I would be happy to review your child’s portfolio and certify that they made progress commensurate with their ability.
