I hope the homeschool legal defense association gets involved. HSLDA is on it.From the news article: "Acevedo wasted no time in contacting the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) for assistance with her case, and parsing out the New York Public School District's mountain of red tape to see where she might have erred. In an interview, Acevedo told HSLDA she had indeed filed all the necessary paperwork — even sending two required forms by certified mail, among other meticulous measures. "She had followed all the applicable laws to withdraw her son from public schools and begin homeschooling," the Federalist continues, but the "school district had not recorded the paperwork she'd filed, so her son began accruing 'absences' that eventually triggered the CPS investigation."Administrative 'errors' similar to Acevedo's turned out to be strikingly common. HSLDA vice president of litigation, Jim Mason, dove into records after being astonished by Acevedo's case, and, as he puts it, "What I found appalled me. "Family after family have found themselves in legal limbo because the central office simply cannot or will not follow the timelines in the regulation. More than one homeschooling family told me they had been turned over to CPS because of the office's delayed handling of the homeschooling paperwork."And I hope they win: "...The injustice against homeschooling families in New York City can no longer be tolerated. On December 5, HSLDA filed a civil rights lawsuit against New York City public schools over their systematic mistreatment of homeschooling families. We are asking for money damages and for a court to order the New York City bureaucracy to simply follow New York's homeschooling regulation." Mason found homeschooling families aren't dealing with their own school districts, as regulations dictate, because New York City consolidated all five boroughs' homeschool information into one office — an underfunded, understaffed office where lost paperwork is a routine occurrence."

This though is quite the trespass on parental rights. I'd think that a person could refuse home entry by CPS when they're showing up unannounced. They shouldn't be above needing a warrant any more than police are. I too hope they win. There appears to be quite a bit on the line for a great many homeschooling families for whom this kind of abuse would apply if they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
