Do I have to keep homeschool attendance records?
Asked by families. Answered by Peabody editors from the sources below.
In some states. 19 of the 49 states in Peabody's state law pages mention attendance in their records rule, and others count days or hours, which an attendance log proves. Where the law asks for nothing, a dated log still helps if you move or return to school.
