Actually it has nothing to with your school district but rather with your state laws. Which differ from state to state -- sometimes dramatically.
check out Home School Legal Defense for a synopsis of each states laws/requirements. They also have links to most "state" homeschol groups.
Personally I don't use k-12 because I don't want the ps involved in my homeschool in any fashion

Many people have suggested checking HSDL(Homschool Defense League) website and that is good. Again it is going to depend on YOUR State i.e.----you can only Homeschool in Alabama if you use an Umbrella School, in Virginia the only thing you have to give is a copy of your High School Diploma (or whatever Diploma you hold) and a basic list of curriculum you plan to use for the year. Also check what the State Standards are in your State (so the kids don't fall behind)(also so the problem people can't say "well they did'nt learn so and so").
Good luck in your journey.

Each state is different, so you would have to check at your state level. A great place to get information and connect with others in your town that homeschools in the public library. Just ask there should be someone that can answer your questions or point you in the right direction, maybe there is a local homeschool group.

It will differ among school districts. You pretty much let the district know that you are choosing to homeschool and sometimes they'll even provide resources.
Before you get started, I would get involved in a homeschooling group and get an idea of everything you'll need to prepare for.
If it is done well, HS can be a lot of hard work but well worth the investment in your children.

You do not need to "check" with your local school district. You DO need to find out your state requirements. You can check the Home School Legal Defense Association website and then find your state for this information.

This has to do with the state laws where you live, and not the district, like one person answered. Check out the laws at http://www.hslda.org to find out for sure. It's actually best to avoid dealing with the school districts unless you are legally required to do so.

In Georgia, all that's required of you is a HS diploma or GED and let the Board of Education know your intent to homeschool. It varies state to state.
