I have a child in Special ED and I am trying to sign him up for homeschooling. He is in the 9th grade and law requires you have a Bach. degree to homeschool 9-12. I only have an Assoc. degree but his current skills are only about 3-4 grade level. (He is capable of so much more, the reason i am removing him and wanting to school myself) I am not getting answers from the BOE about doing this, if anyone can help with some legalities on how i can remove him from school, any way possible. He is 15and we live in Tennessee if that helps. thanks in advance!

Federal law requires that all special Ed students have an IEP (Individual Education Plan) in place each school year. Talk to your son's teachers and anyone else who helps put the IEP together each year. If it's found to be in the child's best interest (i.e. least restrictive environment) you may have an easier time getting around that bachelor's degree requirement.

Try and see if you can use the k12 curriculum without having to have a BA. Try and talk to someone on a legal hot line and see what the specific laws are.
Good luck!

You are the mother and know whats best for your child. Do what you want and beat them in court if you have to. Nobody will take you to court.
