Covered under insurance? So if someone gets hurt playing sports, the KHSAA pays for their medical expenses?

 

If they die they do, sounds bad but that is the insurance KHSAA offers to its members "Catastrophic." But it also requires that each member school either have a school insurance policy that the student athlete can buy into, or that they prove the student athlete has insurance coverage on their own/through a parent guardian/state program.

Why, why can't a home school join the KHSAA for the same $800 it cost Pineville or Fulton?

 

They are not affiliated with a state recognized school district if they are home schooled.

Can't wait to hear the explanation against this....

They are not affiliated with a state recognized school district if they are home schooled.

 

Who cares? That means nothing.

It means everything. The KHSAA is run by the Kentucky Board of Education, if you're not a state recognized School district by the Kentucky Board of Education, why should you be allowed to participate?

Who cares about districts? They don't mean anything in this argument.

 

Does the KBOE recognize the course work home-schooled children receive?

NOPE!

 

A homeschool student is one whom the family has withdrawn from public school pursuant to KRS

159.030 and chosen to educate through a private or home setting. Section 5 of the Kentucky

Constitution establishes that parents may choose the formal education for their child. Over thirty years

ago, the Supreme Court of Kentucky determined that the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE)

may not prescribe standards for homeschooling. Kentucky classifies homeschools as non-public

schools; therefore, the laws relating to non-public schools also apply to homeschools.

 

KDE does not accredit or certify homeschools and does not provide any financial assistance; however,

NOPE!

So how does a home-schooled child attend college if they haven't done any coursework that is recognized? Or are they treated like a private school in that regard?

It is the responsibility of the homeschool to issue a diploma to the student. Although homeschools

operate legally under Kentucky statutory law, the KDE has limited governance over the establishment

of such schools or their day-to-day operations. Because of this, the KDE does not issue diplomas to, or

officially recognize homeschool diplomas. It is important to note that homeschools cannot seek

traditional accreditation. Homeschools will not be found on the Kentucky list of certified schools.

Unless a homeschooling family functions as a satellite classroom for an accredited/certified school,

other schools or agencies may require documentation or other verification before accepting

homeschool diplomas.

 

Some homeschooled children take the General Education Development (GED®) exam to obtain a

standard credential after turning 18. Other college-bound home school graduates take the SAT or ACT

tests.

Does KDA tell private schools what to teach or set standards for them? I'm asking because I don't know, I've never dealt with private schools.

As far as I'm aware, they don't, but I could be wrong.

Then how would that be any different from home schooling in the argument that Plantman is making?

The Kentucky constitution establishes the prerogatives of the parents to choose the formal education for the child. Therefore, parents may choose to have their child educated in a non-public school of their choice.

​

Non-Public schools must adhere to Kentucky laws regarding school attendance, minimum instructional hours, subjects taught and records kept. These details are explained in the Kentucky Non-Public Schools Information Packet.

So I take it you're against private schools competing in the KHSAA as well?

 

There is no difference between the two...
