DEXTER MOSLEY ACT: Home Study Student Participation in LCSS Activities

Starting with the 2021-2022 school year, the State of Georgia passed the Dexter Mosley Act, effectively creating a process for home study (homeschooling) students in grades 6-12 an opportunity to participate in extracurricular/interscholastic activities through their resident public school system.

The Lumpkin County School System adopted these procedures for implementing the Dexter Mosley Act: LCSS Procedures for Students/Parents.

PARENTS' BILL OF RIGHTS (HB 1178)

  2. Learn about his or her minor child's courses of study, including, but not limited to, parental access to instructional materials intended for use in the classroom. Such instructional materials will be made available for parental review during the first two weeks of each grading period, either online or on site upon a parent's request made during the review period;

  3. Object to instructional materials intended for use in his or her minor child's classroom or recommended by his or her minor child's teacher;

  4. Withdraw his or her minor child from the school's prescribed course of study in sex education if the parent provides a written objection to his or her child's participation.

  5. Provide written notice that photographs or video or voice recordings of his or her minor child are not permitted, subject to applicable public safety and security exceptions.
