How long do you have to keep homeschool records?
Asked by families. Answered by Peabody editors from the sources below.
Only a few states set a time. In Peabody's state law pages, 8 of the 49 name one, from one year (for test results) to permanently; the rest set none. Keep high school records and the transcript for good. Each state's page quotes its rule.
