You need to look in the phone book of the city you live in for the school boards number. How are we to give you the school boards number when there are hundreds in North Carolina???

Answer 3

Zack, We are in NC and the school board has nothing to do with homeschooling.   You need the department of non public education.   If I'm not mistaken, I've given you this link before, but here it is again.

Also, Jazzy has given you some good sites too.  All these together should help you with your first homeschooling assignment.
