SURFACE CREEK VISION
HOME AND COMMUNITY PROGRAM
Contract
of Agreements 2006-2007
Purpose: To develop and maintain a working
relationship between the Learner and the Surface Creek
Vision Home and Community Program.
I. The Surface Creek Vision HCP agrees to:
A. Conduct
relationships based upon integrity and respect for participantsŐ educational
beliefs and methods. Recognize that it is the primary
responsibility of the parent to choose the proper education and training for
children under their care.
B. Find the highest quality
Resource Consultants and fully support them in their role as an advocate for
the Learner and his or her family.
C. Work with the Learner to find a
Resource Consultant to his or her liking.
D. Support the LearnerŐs
option to receive a public school diploma should he or she complete necessary
requirements.
E. Support each full-time
Learner with access to up to $2150 in funds for educational purposes if the

After October 1, each full-time Learner will be supported with access of
up to $650.
F. Continue to support the
home-school law and legitimate schooling choice within and outside the public
school system and Vision. The
Vision HCP recognizes that some of the requirements for participation in Vision
are above and beyond the home-school law (i.e. taking the CSAPS), and we will
work to minimize such requirements in the future.
II. Participants in the program agree to:
A. Maintain a cooperative,
working relationship with a Resource Consultant. This includes developing and
abiding by a working agreement.
The funding for this program is contingent upon meeting the criteria
outlined in this agreement and in the agreement with a Resource Consultant.
B.
Maintain and demonstrate integrity both personally and for the program
in all required paperwork and relationships.

minimum requirements:
q
360
learning hours per semester for full-time enrollment with 90 hours per
semester with someone outside the LearnerŐs immediate family.

Minimum
of 90 learning hours per semester for part-time enrollment with 45 hours per
semester with someone outside the LearnerŐs immediate family.
q

all required paperwork such as: Application Form, Enrollment, Release of
Information Waiver, Child Protection Screening Form, Immunization Form, this
Vision HCP Contract, Learner/Parent/Resource Consultant Agreement, Basic Skills

requests, and Attendance Records with necessary documentation.

year. Complete a transcript at the
end of the year.
q
Work with the Resource Consultant to keep track of
LearnerŐs basic skill levels and take the
State-mandated CSAP and ACT
tests at the LearnerŐs appropriate level once per year.
III. Learner, Parents and Resource
Consultant agree to:
Develop a
plan for someone to meet with the Learner at least once per week to support him
or her in his or her learning program.
The RC will participate weekly, semi-weekly, or monthly depending on a mutually
determined decision.
The RC will meet with
the Learner: (How often?) ______________________________
(For how
long?)____________________________
If the RC is not
meeting weekly with the student, who will? ________________________________.
In order for the Vision HCP to operate with integrity, it is important
that all parties are in consensus about the funding process. It is imperitive that:
¤
the Learner,
parents, and Resource Consultant be in 100% agreement about what items should
be funded;
¤
the need for
these items is specified in the Learning Plan, which is created by consensus of
the aforementioned parties;
¤
all parties
can stand fully behind the decision to purchase these items with state funds,
and
¤
if anyone at
anytime is not comfortable funding an item, they are given time to seek support
about their questions and uncertaintanty.
At no time should anyone feel pressure to authorize funding of any item.
¤
Funds are
intended to be used for educational purposes. Items bought using Vision HCP money ultimately belong to the
program and are not to be sold for personal profit.
If
any party (Vision, Parent or Learner) fails to meet the requirements of this
program or rapport is broken with the Resource Consultant, then:
