Anita,

Since we have been homeschooling since the start, I'm not certain on this, but I'm pretty sure that when you turn in the intent to homeschool form that that is all you need to do.

I think it would depend on the schools whether or not they will give you their records. They should have IEP's for your kids that would include what they covered, but I guess it's their choice whether or not they give you a copy. I agree the Sunshine Standards are very hard to understand exactly what it is that is expected. However, homeschoolers are not required to abide by the Sunshine Standards. You can, of course, and I'm sure it would impress your evaluator if you listed all the standards and how you covered them, but it's not part of the evaluation form and the school evaluator I use has never mentioned us following them.

Hope that helps.

Sharon
