Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi Sally, I'm putting pieces of two messages together here ... Every state has different vaccine exemption laws, but every single state has at least medical exemption, all states except Mississippi (I think) has religious exemption and over a dozen states, now including Texas, have philosophical exemptions too. Here are some links to help get some more info on the subject ... http://www.909shot.com/state-site/state-exemptions.htm http://home.san.rr.com/via/STATES/allstates.htm http://www.vaccinationnews.com/StateInformation/state_laws_and_exemption _informa.htm http://www.unhinderedliving.com/statevaccexemp.html http://thinktwice.com/laws.htm I know they try to word laws to make folks THINK that they MUST legally vaccinate their children, but it isn't so. CPS cannot remove a child from the home just because they are not vaccinated, there have to be other issues that bring the child's well being into question. Please tell me where to get more info on the homeschooling payment issues. I'm not homeschooling, but I know quite a few homeschoolers in TX that aren't having to pay any money to the state to homeschool and I don't see anything about it in the TX homeschooling pages ... http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/laws/blTX.htm http://www.texashomeschoolers.com/texaslaws.htm http://homeschoolingtexas.org/hstx2.html http://www.eho.org/support2/texas.asp http://homeschooling.about.com/od/usatx/ Thanks! *Smile* Chris (list mom - in TX) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Sally Trew [sallyTrew2] Not in our state you can't ! They will not allow a child to be enrolled without their shot record being up to date . Also in our state the CPS ( Child Protective Service) can remove your child from your custody if you do not give them the shots. A friend of mine had that happen to her because she was 5 sets of shots behind on her 3 year old son. Sally ..... it is required that a child has to have all the shots before they can start school. And they have to continue to get shots every few years until they are 16 . If they do not get these shots they can not continue to go to school. In our state we can home school our kids but they now charge us $300 per subject per semester. Unreal , huh ? Think about this, most high school students have to have at least 22 credits to graduate. Now you only get a half credit per subject per semester making it cost $600 for a full credit. Times that by 22 . It will cost $13,200 to home school a high school student in Texas.
