State Requirements

Every state has different homeschool requirements. Homeschool Fox shows the record for your state so you can see what applies to you.

Setting Your State

Go to Settings
Open State & compliance
Pick your state

Settings save as you change them.

What We Show

Based on your state, Homeschool Fox shows:

Required hours: learning hours per year, where your state sets them
Core subject hours: hours in specific subjects, where your state sets them
Attendance days: days with logged learning, where your state sets them
Subjects: the subjects your state lists

Many states set no hours, no days, or no records at all. Where your state sets none, tracking it is up to you.

Viewing Requirements

Your state's requirements appear under your state in Settings → State & compliance. The State compliance card on your dashboard and the compliance report show your progress against them.

Your state's guide at /states has the full detail and links to the official sources.

Turning Requirements Off

You can't switch off a single state requirement. You can make the app quieter:

Hide the dashboard card: Settings → Dashboard, then turn off State compliance.
Stop pace emails: Settings → Email notifications, then turn off Behind pace alerts.
Change your targets: each student's yearly goal is your own target, not a legal minimum. Edit it from the student's page.
Skip goals entirely: choose Skip goals when asked to set a student's goal. See Student goals.

If Our Record Looks Wrong

Tell us. Use the thumbs-down on a Kit answer or open a request under Support, and name the rule and your source. We check state records against state statutes and education department pages.
