Our home school is conducted in a bona fide manner as a private school. Our curriculum is in visual form (books, workbooks, and other written materials, including materials displayed on an electronic screen) and is designed to meet the basic education goals of reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics, and a study of good citizenship, as *Texas Education Agency v. Leeper* requires.
[If withdrawing from a public school, add:] Please disenroll [CHILD'S NAME] from [SCHOOL NAME], effective [DATE], as he/she will be home schooled beginning on that date.

currently in force, govern.
