Wisconsin--Annual Notice to Department of Public Instruction Reminder
Dear HSLDA Members:
This is just a reminder for those operating under Wisconsin's homeschool law that your annual notice of intent to homeschool is due October 15.
Wisconsin's "home-based private educational program" statute requires every homeschool family to submit a statement of enrollment to the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), indicating whether their homeschool program meets all the requirements under the law.
You will be asked the following questions, and to meet all the requirements of a "home-based private educational program" under Wisconsin statutes, you must be able to answer "True" to the following statements:
a. primary purpose of the program is to provide private or religious-based education,
b. the program is privately controlled,
c. the program provides at least 875 hours of instruction each school year,
d. the program provides a sequentially progressive curriculum of fundamental instruction in the required subjects; this does not require the program to include or exclude in its curriculum any concept, topic or practice in conflict with the program's religious doctrines, and
e. the program is not operated to circumvent the compulsory attendance law.
If your school system or DPI asks you to provide information in addition to the above requirements, please let us know.
The form is available by calling (608) 266-5761 or toll-free (888) 245-2732, ext. 1. The DPI mails the forms out every Friday. It should be completed and submitted to the DPI at the following address:
Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction School Management Services/Home-Based 125 South Webster Street P.O. Box 7841 Madison, WI 53707-7841
According to the law, your notice should be received by the DPI by October 15.

Christopher J. Klicka HSLDA Senior Counsel

"When I called Liberty to find out what kind of discount we could get, they told us we would 10% off our car insurance and 5% off our homeowner's insurance. What we will save is more than double what it costs to join HSLDA. With one child getting his driver's license this year, the savings will be a real blessing!"
