A home instruction application form will be provided to the parents or legal guardian.  This form must be completed and returned to the superintendent before approval may be granted. 3. The Committee delegates the approval of home instruction to the superintendent.  Any approval or rejection of an application by the superintendent is subject to review by the Committee. 2.   Auditing functions of the Committee for the home instruction will include: 1. The Committee at any time may request a review by the superintendent of the attendance rolls, records of test scores or other achievement indicators in each required subject for any child in home instruction. 2. The Committee may request at any time that the superintendent review the instructional materials and methods used by the person(s) responsible for the home instruction. 1. Within one week of the ending date of home instruction, the parents or legal guardian will provide a written end of the year narrative assessment of progress made during the year. 2.
