All these details may begin to sound nit-picky, and I agree with you. that they are. But remember, the less energy spent hassling with the authorities, the more energy you will have for the more important business of running the school.

If you really want to keep your operation small, say five to eight children, or even if you plan to teach your own child at home, this information will be important to you. Knowing what the law says—which is what you learn by reading the education code—will be a valuable tool if and when you have to deal with the authorities. It will tell you what questions they are likely to ask, and thus arm you with acceptable answers.

FILLING OUT AN AFFIDAVIT

One thing you'll probably have to do is fill out something called a "Private School Affidavit". This affidavit is the foundation of your school . . . without it you have nothing as far as the authorities are concerned. If you start operating a school and you fail to file the affidavit, you will not be an "approved" school, and can be found in violation of the compulsory education laws.

Once you file your Private School Affidavit, you may or may not hear from the school authorities again. In California, if you do, they will be interested in the following:

• the names, addresses, and educational qualifications of each faculty member
• attendance records on each student
• the courses of study offered.

You will need to keep these records together and handy, but in the meantime, you've done all you have to do to get started.
