American Home Schools

Nevada law (NRS 392.070) provides for a waiver of the compulsory attendance laws if the parent or guardian provides written evidence to the local school district that their child will be receiving appropriate instruction at home. State regulations (NAC 392.015 - 392.075) describe the requirements for this written evidence. Homeschoolers are not required by law to use any particular form to provide the written evidence; however, sample forms are available from homeschooling groups in Nevada.
