Individualized home instruction plan (IHIP)

Step 2: Again these are per NY requirements. Once the IHIP forms are obtained you have 4 weeks or by August 15th whichever is later to complete and submit the document. Within 10 business days, the school is supposed to notify you that the IHIP complies with the requirements or give written notice of any deficiency in the IHIP. If you must revise the IHIP you will have 15 days or by September 15th whichever is later to send it. The school will then inform you if it complies or not. If it does not meet the standards this time the district will send the date of the next regularly scheduled meeting of the board of education that will be held at least 10 days after the mailing of the notice, and shall indicate that if the parents wish to contest the determination of noncompliance, the parents must so notify the board of education at least 3 business days prior to such meeting. At such board meeting, the parents shall have the right to present proof of compliance, and the board of education shall make a final determination of compliance or noncompliance. IHIP needs to include the child's name, age, and grade level, a list of the syllabi, curriculum materials, textbooks, or plan of instruction to be used in each of the required subjects,  the dates you will submit your quarterly reports and the names of the individuals providing instruction. *Side note* Finding your child's learning style will help in choosing which curriculum to use. I will discuss these in a later post(s).
