Testing If Child Is 18

Q. If my child turns 18 this year, do I need to I notify the superintendent? And will we be required by law to provide testing scores for this past school year?

A. No, the law does not require you to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) for the coming year because your son will be 18 years old prior to the August 15 NOI filing deadline. Neither are you required to send in testing results by August 1 of this year. When your son becomes 18, he will no longer be under the compulsory school attendance laws of Virginia.

The law does not require you to notify the superintendent that your child is no longer of compulsory school age.
