====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Changes to the Private School Affidavit To private school administrators of PSP's with six or more students: The private school affidavit for the 2011-2012 school year is available, but has been changed to include two new questions (questions 41 and 42). These questions ask for the number of enrolled immigrant students and the number of enrolled students who are not proficient in English. Neither of these pieces of information is required by law to be reported. Unfortunately, the online version of the affidavit form will not allow the form to be submitted unless questions 41 and 42 are answered. Note that the online affidavit form states that questions 41 and 42 do not apply to schools with fewer than six enrolled students. This means that those small private school with only five or fewer students can legitimately leave the answers set at the default of zero. However, if schools with six students and above leave the default answer of zero, that is a response that the school have NO immigrants or non-proficient-in-English students. Since questions 41 and 42 clearly exceed the CDE's authority related to private schools and the CDE requires these questions to be answered in order to file the affidavit online, we suggest an alternative: the filing of a paper copy of the affidavit this year. Thus, our recommendation is that those schools with six or more students simply write "N/A" in the space on the hard copy form for both questions 41 and 42, then mail the form. For your convenience, the affidavit form is posted on HSLDA's website under California Form and Resources at http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=12532 . Be sure to keep a copy of the completed affidavit for your records, then mail the affidavit on or before October 15, with proof of delivery from the post office so that you will be able to confirm that you did mail it. Very truly yours, Michael Smith, President HSLDA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> How many acorns can a chipmunk hold in its cheeks? We don't know! But we do know that gathering little by little enables ordinary folks to prepare for hard times. That principle is behind HSLDA's payment plan: by paying a month at a time, families can receive an annual HSLDA membership. Meanwhile, they can feel secure as they homeschool and focus on other priorities -- their children. Don't go nuts trying to pay for membership all at once. Choose one of our convenient payment plans.
