Home School Issue

[JMH ACLJ]

In a message dated 98-04-28 17:26:19 EDT, you write:

<<  But now the school has decided X can not
 graduate--the school board has decided not to count her home school
 work for grades 8-11 and has classified her as a ninth grader.
  >>

In the Sixth Circuit, the case that would probably determine the outcome is
Vandiver v. Board of Education.  There the Sixth Circuit affirmed the power of
the School Board to withhold credits, even though such credits would be
transferable if received from a public or private or parochial school.
Vandiver dates from around 1989-91.
