IAAL-Home schooling and proof of graduation

[VeronicaGia]

What is the name of your state? CA

IAAL, if the CP is home schooling a high school aged child, how does the NCP prove the child has graduated? Does the state of CA have any type of diploma for a student who has graduated through home school? When emancipation time comes, does the burden of proof lie on the CP or the NCP?

Also, in what area of CA code can I find this information?

Thank you

Great question! Who's to say the home-schooling CP might not "withold" the HS graduation until the end of "summer school", when in fact the child has completed their course of study before that? OR maybe kept ONE class unfinished deliberately to keep from "graduating until summer's end, instead of winter or spring. Just curious, as I graduated HS in 3 1/2 years.

Or until the child reaches age 19, even if he/she would have graduated before age 18 or at 18-1/2.

**As far as the diploma goes the person who is keeping track of the child's credits is the one who can give them a diploma. The child could also take a GED. This site has a lot of facts: http://www.hsc.org/chaos/teens/highschool_diploma.php

Thanks for the link as it helped some. However, hopefully IAAL will help with the rest??

**One more thing, under which 'option' is the child being homeschooled under? This link can help clarify that: http://www.hslda.org/laws/?State=CA
