For parents who may be considering home schooling for the fall semester, and are interested in submitting PRESTO lessons for arts credit, please see the information below from a PRESTO family member who has been homeschooling for 20 years in MD:

“Homeschool requirements are statewide law and not mandated by county.  In fact, state law specifically forbids localities from suggesting anything in addition to state law. If you would like to read the actual homeschool law please click the link below. It is neither long nor difficult to understand: 

• COMAR Online: 13A.10.01.01. 01 Home Instruction Program

The requirements for fulfilling any homeschool subject are set in state law as ‘the usual subjects normally taught in public schools.’ The homeschooling parent is the one who decides what satisfies the requirement.  Examples: drawing lessons at Hobby Lobby, online performances, private music lessons, etc.

I do list our Presto lessons, as they already are, in my fine arts category.  It more than satisfies the requirement.  It's actually more arts instruction than most public schools do. I use wording something like: weekly violin lessons to include: reading musical notation, rhythm practice, daily practice of pieces suggested by teacher and music basics/scales, some history of composers/pieces.”

If you’re interested in reaching out to this parent, please contact Shawn Stone at sdstone@salisbury.edu, and I’ll ask her to contact you.
