Get Legal!

It is getting ready to be time to think about the beginning of the new school year. I know, I know…summer is just getting into full swing. In some states the deadline for registering your homeschool with the board of education is the middle of July.
So that is why I am reminding you at this point. It is your job to get legal with your state. If you have homeschooled before, then you probably already know the rules, and what you need to do to ensure that you have no legal issues where you state is concerned. If you are new to homeschooling in the state you live in, then take some time to research the law.
You can check the board of education, or department of education website. You can check with the school your child would go to. Talk to other homeschooling families in the area and see if they have access to the forms needed, or know what the requirements are.
The other thing to do right around now is to find out when your state’s tax free school holiday is. Most states have one, and this can mean noticeable savings if you are not paying state taxes on supplies that are eligible for the exemption. Also look for your local stores to begin putting school supplies on sale. Admit it, you love brand new school supplies!!
