When the Garland Independent School district becomes aware of a student that is potentially being home schooled, it is district practice to request an assurance statement from the parent/guardian of the student regarding their intent to homeschool the student. The assurance document may be furnished to either the chief attendance officer of the district or the appropriate campus official having jurisdiction regarding the child's attendance. This document is provided as a convenience to parents/guardians to provide requested assurance to the school district. This or any other assurance document/letter will be acceptable to the district.
As the parent/guardian of the above named child, I acknowledge that I am having my child pursue a bona-fide homeschool curriculum consisting of books, workbooks, other written or taped materials, including those that appear on an electronic screen, or any combination of these. The curriculum includes instruction in reading, spelling, grammar, speaking, listening, writing, mathematics, and good citizenship.
