---------------------------------------------------------------------- From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- February 27, 2002 Dear Virginia HSLDA Members and Friends, Many of you may have already been contacted about completing Virginia Triennial School Census. HSLDA would like our members to be aware that you are not required to participate in this voluntary school census. If you complete the census survey, the local public schools will receive funding for your children. The purpose of this census is to gather data on the number of children in each school district subject to the compulsory school attendance law. The schools receive funding from the state depending on how many school aged children are in their district. Although the purpose is to get a numeric count of school aged children in your home, often the questions involved in the census go beyond this area. The school district may also seek to gather statistics "related to the interests of education." These questions are unnecessary and many families consider them intrusive. The school board is obligated to offer this census to you. The law does not, however, mandate that you complete it. Members who do not want to participate should simply tell the census worker "We decline to participate in the voluntary school census. Thank you very much." Please call us if the census workers refuse to recognize a family's right not to participate. Sincerely yours, Scott A. Woodruff, Esq. {{JoinAd}} ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The HSLDA E-lert Service is a service of: Home School Legal Defense Association P.O.
