BOCES Homeschool Monitoring Program
Southwestern CSD is now using an online portal through Erie 1 BOCES to manage homeschool reporting. Once you create an account and submit your letter of intent in the portal, you’ll receive access to regulations, homeschooling guidance, and sample forms. You must notify your school office that your child will be homeschooled before unenrolling them from school.
Questions? Call Erie 1 BOCES at (716) 821-7071 or email swhs@e1b.org.
Procedural Safeguards
Federal law requires school districts to notify you of your legal rights as a parent or guardian of a child with a disability.
The procedural safeguards notice must be provided to parents of a student with a disability at a minimum of one time per year and also upon:
- initial referral or parental request for evaluation;
- request by a parent;
- the first filing of a due process complaint notice to request mediation or an impartial due process hearing;
- a decision to impose a suspension or removal that constitutes a disciplinary change in placement; and
- receipt of a parent’s first State complaint in a school year.
Note: Please inform our office directly, as soon as possible, if any of your personal information has changed - for example: phone numbers, addresses, guardianship.
