====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Wisconsin: Form Change--Good or Bad? Dear HSLDA Members and Friends: The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has announced that they will no longer mail blank enrollment forms to homeschool families, but will make the form accessible for filling in online. I have asked Merry Larsen at the DPI to make several changes. First, I have asked her to make sure that families can obtain a copy of the paper form conveniently if they want it. Some families don't have computers. Others may object to using the online process out of concerns for privacy, since reports of hackers breaking into supposedly secure databases are all too frequent. Second, I have asked her to change the form to stop asking for enrollment by each individual grade. The statute only requires that enrollment be broken down by elementary and high school. Third, I have asked her to remove the request for the gender of the children. The law does not require families to identify the gender of enrolled children. Finally, I have asked her to modify the form so it is clear that a family who supplies a post office box for an address is not required to supply a street address in addition. The deadline for filing the form is October 15. Hopefully that will allow enough time for the kinks to be worked out. Sincerely, Scott A. Woodruff HSLDA Senior Counsel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> Have you ever yelled into the wind, only to hear the sound of your voice blown back at you? It's hard to be heard in the midst of a storm. Trying to influence federal legislation is much like yelling to be heard while standing in a fierce wind. Yet when 80,000 voices join together, they become a powerful force that cannot be drowned out. Join HSLDA to be heard above the tempests that threaten homeschool freedoms.
