How to homeschool in Connecticut

Nothing to file today. The state suggests an optional notice of intent and an optional yearly portfolio meeting. Neither is required, and neither is an approval. New rules are coming. From July 1, 2027, withdrawing a child from public school to homeschool means signing a withdrawal form in person and a records check of the adults in the household. From the 2028-29 school year, families whose child is starting school, or who filed an intent or withdrawal form the year before, file an intent to educate form with the local district by October 1 each year. A family already homeschooling that never filed does not, unless it moves to a new district.
