There are four legal requirements for homeschoolers in Florida: (1) the notice of intent; (2) the notice of termination; (3) the annual evaluation; and (4) the portfolio of records and materials. In another article, we summarized all the requirements, pointing readers to sections in the Florida Statutes where they appear.
