Home School Exemption
Overview
For parents who wish to homeschool their child, the State of Utah requires the parent to complete and file an exemption with their local school district stating their intent to homeschool. Once the exemption is filed by the parent, the students listed on the form are withdrawn from their public K-12 schools and exempt from Utah’s compulsory education law. Your local school district may have a preferred form for this process, but no specific form is required by state law. While the Utah State Board of Education can provide information regarding state policies, parents have jurisdiction over homeschooling.
