FINANCIAL AGREEMENT

After submitting my application, should I withdraw my application before it has been approved, $120 will be retained. Any credit balance will be refunded. A withdrawal request must be in writing. Failure to complete my application by a given deadline will result in denial of my application and forfeiture of any credit balance.

After my membership has been approved, should I withdraw, I understand that I will not receive a refund. I also agree to pay any outstanding balance of my Total Annual Membership Fee even if I did not pay in full initially. If my membership is discontinued at any time during the school year, I understand that transcripts cannot be issued and records cannot be released by SCAIHS until all my records and payments are complete.

eCheck Transactions: If you are using a routing number and bank account number, you authorize SCAIHS to charge your bank account directly. The receipt of your signed application is the effective date of this charge. This payment authorization is valid for monthly payments for 9 consecutive months, and is to remain in effect unless I notify SCAIHS of its cancellation by sending written notice to our address or an email to scaihs@scaihs.org. If mailing a check, you agree that the checking and routing number on your mailed check will be used for all recurring payments – monthly (on this day forward – 9 months).

CONTACT CONSENT

By submitting an application, I consent to SCAIHS contacting me via mail, phone call, text (SMS), email, and other electronic means. SCAIHS will always treat your personal details with the utmost care and will never sell them to other companies for marketing purposes.

I agree to the Financial Agreement.

Check to read the Statement of Commitment. You must read before you will be presented an opportunity to agree at the conclusion of the text.

STATEMENT OF COMMITMENT

As members of the South Carolina Association of Independent Home Schools (SCAIHS), we understand that SCAIHS believes the foundation of home schooling is built, in part, on the traditional family, established by a marriage between one man and one woman. We understand and agree that we are the persons ultimately responsible for the education of our children.
In keeping with this, we agree to meet the following requirements for the duration of our membership in SCAIHS:

Follow Section 59-65-45 of the South Carolina Code of Laws:

• A parent must hold at least a high school diploma or the equivalent general educational development (GED) certificate;
• The instructional year is at least one hundred eighty days; and
• The curriculum includes, but is not limited to, the basic instructional areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies, and in grades seven through twelve, composition and literature.

Exercise diligence in teaching our child(ren) in a responsible manner.
Plan an appropriate course of study for each student and provide the curricula/materials.
Maintain a written record of school work, activities, and field trips for each student.
Maintain a portfolio of samples of each student’s academic work.
Meet SCAIHS standardized testing requirement (at a minimum, every other year from grade 3 – 11), paying any associated costs.
Provide the following in SCAIHS Central:

• Course plans at the beginning of the year
• Attendance and course progress by January 7^th and June 7^th (January 7^th and May 15^th for seniors)
• Final grades by June 7^th (May 15th for seniors)
• Standardized test results by June 7th (for applicable years)

Pay the annual membership fee on time, per the SCAIHS Financial Agreement.
Acknowledge that the SCAIHS membership year runs from June 1 through May 31.
Acknowledge that in keeping with South Carolina Code of Laws Section 63-5-30, SCAIHS will release student records to a parent if requested, unless a court order prohibits such release.

We understand that failure to fulfill any one of these responsibilities may result in probationary status for our home school or dismissal from SCAIHS. If dismissed, we understand the financial agreement will be enforced.

I agree to the Statement of Commitment.
