1. A child's school district of residence, an approved nonpublic high school, or the center 
for distance education may issue a high school diploma to a child who, through home 
education, has met the issuing entity's requirements for high school graduation 
provided the child's parent submits to the issuing entity a description of the course 
material covered in each high school subject, a description of the course objectives 
and how the objectives were met, and a transcript of the child's performance in grades 
nine through twelve.
2. In the alternative, a high school diploma may be issued by the child's school district of 
residence, an approved nonpublic high school, or the center for distance education 
provided the child, through home education, has completed at least twenty-two units of 
high school coursework from the minimum required curriculum offerings established by 
law for public and nonpublic schools and the child's parent or legal guardian submits to 
the issuing entity a description of the course material covered in each high school 
subject, a description of the course objectives and how the objectives were met, and a 
transcript of the child's performance in grades nine through twelve. The issuing entity 
may indicate on a diploma issued under this subsection that the child was provided 
with home education. 
3. If for any reason the documentation required in subsection 1 or 2 is unavailable, the 
entity issuing the diploma may accept any other reasonable proof that the child has 
met the applicable requirements for high school graduation.
