Wisconsin
law states that on or before October 15, each administrator of a home-based
private education program is asked to submit, on form PI-1206, provided by the
Department of Public Instruction, a statement of the home school's enrollment
as of the third Friday of September. Be aware that this is *not* a
registration process, but merely an affidavit that attests that the criteria
of s. 118.165 (listed below) has been met.
On this form you verify that the program of instruction is provided by the
child's parent or guardian, or by a person designated by the parent or
guardian, and meets the following criteria:
1. that the primary purpose of the program is to provide private or religious
based education;
2. that the program is privately controlled;
3. provides a minimum of 875 hours of instruction each year;
4. provides a sequentially progressive curriculum of fundamental instruction
in math, reading, language arts, social studies, science & health;
5. and that the program is not operated or instituted for the purpose of
avoiding or circumventing the compulsory school attendance requirement.
The form recommends that records be maintained of student instruction time and
course outlines to show a sequentially progressive curriculum. Please note,
however, that there are currently no provisions in WI law for the disclosure
of these records to any school district or state education entity. There are
no testing requirements.

Summary:
Home-based private educational program means a program of educational instruction provided to a child by the child's parent or guardian or by a person designated by the parent or guardian. (An instructional program provided to more than one family unit does not constitute a home-based private educational program.)
