Dexter Mosely Act
Under the Dexter Mosely Act (Senate Bill 51), home study students in grades six through 12 are eligible to participate in extracurricular and interscholastic activities in the Carroll County School System. In order to participate, home study students must be homeschooled for at least 12 months prior to registration and complete at least one qualifying course during any semester the student participates in an activity. A “qualifying course” means an on-site class, an online course facilitated by CCSS or a dual enrollment course. Participation is only available at the public school a home study student would attend based on his or her address.
To enroll a home study student in at least one CCSS course in order to participate in extracurricular and interscholastic activities, please complete the online registration form linked below. Once you have completed the online registration, an individual from the school will contact you with additional information.
Please note: Families interested in enrolling under the Dexter Mosely Act must complete the same online enrollment application as full-time Carroll County Schools students.
