Hi, everyone! I've been reading your posts all night and have been learning a lot about the area, so thank you all for that!

My husband has had a job offer in Tucson. We have family there, and the cost of living is much better than in SoCal where we live, particularly in regards to housing, which has been a struggle for us. Because my job is primarily online (two trips to California each year for a few days each), I will be able to bring my current salary with us, making the move very attractive financially.

So yes, I work, but I also homeschool my teenaged daughter. Last year in SoCal, we found a great homeschool/public charter where she took two courses that met once a week and she worked independently the rest of the week. I'd like to find something like that in Tucson, but haven't been able to find any resources.

The Tucson school district lists tons of charters, but there are no descriptions, and we're not interested in sending her to school five days a week.

Is there anyone who has experience with this out there? I need to take all of this into consideration as we ponder this move.

Thanks!

Here's a link to Pima County schools and the homeschooling laws and support groups. Google Tucson Homeschooling and lots of info comes up. We homeschooled our four kids in Colorado, but not here in AZ, so I'm not sure how the AZ laws work. Your best bet is to find a homeschool support group and ask them your questions if you can't find anything online...

Whoops--I see my email didn't post here.

Thank you for this information, Marcy 1210! In addition, I'm looking for a charter school that works with homeschool families. We've been spoiled here with lots of choices, but I can't seem to find any information on the Tucson area. If anyone has information on that, I'd love to hear it!
