Basic Rules of a Record Retention: High School and Beyond

Diane Allen, DNPE Director, homeschooled for twenty-three years and graduated three students into college. Imagine her surprise when she learned she had made several common mistakes in maintaining her student’s homeschool records. After talking with college admission offices, military recruiters, FBI agents and verification services, she revised her graduate transcripts and prepared a “proper academic record.” In this workshop, she shares her mistakes and how to prevent future complications by outlining the Basic Rules of a Record Retention for homeschool students. (We are seeing a trend towards high school records being required during the hiring process years after graduation.)
