I do not live in New York, I live in Arkansas. So, the answer I give you is based upon the Dept. of Education here. But, I am hoping state departments of educ. are similar since they are all federally funded. In Arkansas, the state dept. has its own website (you can google yours at new york dept. of education and find it easily). Through your state dept., you should be able to find home schooling requirements (the home school students will have to be tested every year just like the students in a public school, the scores will have to be reported to the state dept. due to NCLB laws). I know here in AR, when a parent wants to pull a student out for home schooling, the school district provides the paperwork (or, can be down loaded from the State Dept. website) for the parent to fill out to be sent to the State Dept. At that time, I also would have my counselor (I was the principal) "counsel" the parent about the needs of the student and the reponsibilities of the parent as far as reporting scores, taking state mandated tests (as per the No Child Left Behind act). and so on. After researching the requirements on the N.Y. State Dept. website, there MAY be a list of internet providers that you can contact ... or, at least there will be a phone number at the state dept. that you can call and talk to a live person to answer your questions. Browse through the list of the separate departments within the New York Dept. of Ed. and see which dept. is best suited to your needs. You can also try calling the principal of superintendent of your local school district for many answers to your questions. If that doesn't work for you, you can always try googling "virtual high school, new york" and see the different sites that are available for you to check out and see what fits your particular situation. Hope this helps.
