The Gardner Public School
Committee accepts the fundamental responsibility for education of pupils in its
jurisdiction pursuant to Massachusetts State Laws, particularly Chapter 76 S1
and Chapter 71, S1, S2, S3 and S37 governing school attendance, curriculum,
instruction, physical education, and the powers/duties of the Gardner School
Committee.
It is the policy of the
Gardner School Committee that home school education may be provided as
determined by statute and the administrative guidelines. Copies of the administrative guidelines are
on file in the office of the Superintendent.
Acceptance and completion of a home schooling plan does not meet the
requirements for a Gardner High School diploma.
