Source review
The printed appendices report a review date of October 20, 2026. Website source check: 2026-11-01.
OSPI confirms September 15/within-two-weeks declaration and links approved annual assessments. Reviewed content did not expose full teacher-certification and parent-retention rules; full homeschool summary not certified. GED minimum 19, 16–18 release/approval and notarized homeschool documentation match.
Sources can change after review. Confirm every deadline and requirement directly with the responsible agency before acting.
