In Kentucky, parents must notify the local school district of their intent to homeschool their child(ren). This letter does not seek approval from the school board. It is a letter of notification of your intent to homeschool. This letter must be submitted on a yearly basis. The letter to the school board should be sent within ten days of the beginning of each family's local school district's start date. It is wise to keep a copy of the letter for your own records. The sample Letter of Notification below may be personalized and used by homeschool families. All required information is included in the sample letter and no further information is legally required to be shared with any local school district . HSKY recommends that you send your letter certified mail with a return receipt. When your receipt is returned via mail, place it with a copy of your letter in your record book. Some families may choose to email their local school district with their Letter of Notification. If you do so, HSKY suggests you print out a copy of the confirmation email you received from the secretary of the Superintendent that they have received your emailed Letter of Notification in order to document the timely delivery and receipt of this year’s letter. The printed confirmation should be kept in your record book. A final submission option is to hand deliver your Letter of Notification to your local school district. If you decide to hand deliver your letter directly to the school district's offices, ask them to make a copy and sign or stamp it as a receipt. Remember, you are not required to fill out any of their forms.
