Hello everyone,

Here is some information regarding the homeschooling law in New Mexico.
I found this information at http://www.cape-nm.org/pages/capenm/laws.php

New Mexico Statutes Annotated 22-1-2.1

A. Notify the Public Education Department of the establishment of a home school within thirty days of its establishment and notify the state superintendent in writing on or before April 1 of each subsequent year of operation of the school district from which the home school is drawing students;
B. Maintain records of student disease immunization or a waiver of that requirement; and
C. Provide instruction by a person possessing at least a high school diploma or its equivalent.

I also recommend visiting http://www.hslda.org for more information on homeschooling laws and regulations for your state or in general.

I would love for you to come visit the website for the Lea County Home School Association. If you live in Lea County, NM, we would love to have you join us. Visit the site at http://www.waldosworld.org/lori/LCHSA.htm

Thanks!
