Gloucester 6/5/24

HEAV reached out to Gloucester’s homeschool liaison regarding a miscommunication on a form letter relating to the evidence of progress requirement that had caused confusion. We are pleased to report the district promptly responded and has updated their acknowledgement form letter to clarify the evidence of progress requirement does not apply to children who were under the age of six as of September 30th of the school year.

HEAV is thankful to Gloucester for this positive resolution and their dedication to the law and to the families they serve.
