What Is Required
Louisiana families must choose either the BESE-approved home study pathway or a nonpublic school not seeking state approval; the pathways have different applications, renewals, testing, diploma, and scholarship consequences. The BESE pathway requires annual application/approval and parent assurances, while the nonpublic-not-seeking-approval pathway requires annual enrollment/attendance submission and is not itself confirmation of compulsory-attendance compliance. The companion holds generation until the parent selects a pathway and supplies that pathway’s current forms and calendar.
Tier 3 State Companion: Editable, parent-reviewable 36-week Curriculum Summary Draft with student and grade/year details, parent and instructor fields, four nine-week review/report dates, and subject-by-subject scope, sequence, objectives, resources, methods, and progress evidence. It also adds selected BESE-approved home-study or registered nonpublic-school route, with its distinct application, renewal, enrollment, and record fields. Parent review is required. Submit documents only when required for your confirmed state and pathway; keep retain-only items in your family records.

What Is Not Required
The guide separates mandatory steps from optional best practices and will not add a filing simply because a planner template exists.
Your Next Steps
Review and correct every generated field, confirm the current official source and local/pathway instructions, sign where appropriate, and submit any required notice, plan, report, evaluation, or other form yourself. K–5 Blueprint does not file on the family's behalf or guarantee agency acceptance.
