By CH'STiNE MAUR The Desert Sun INDIO Parents educating their children at home will get some help from Desert Sands Unified School District under a policy that received preliminary approval from the school board. The board Tuesday unanimously approved the first reading of a revised independent study policy that provides for a home-schooling program. Final action is scheduled for the board's Nov. 2 meeting.

Home schooling under the revised policy will be a cooperative effort between parents and the school district with the parent doing the teaching and the district providing guidance and instructional materials. "Some people like to keep their children at home often for religious reasons," said Pamela Rut-ledge, primary prevention program specialist who will work with parents. Board member Amy Swan-Draper said the program provides a parental choice alternative and might also be expanded to include students who are discipline problems and don't function well in a regular school setting. Parents in- the program would sign contracts that outline a study plan and an assigned work schedule for their children. Rutledge said a parent advisory board, support groups and network-.

ing opportunities will be available to the home-schooling About 18 families have signed up for the program, she said. BOB Board members adopted a resolution opposing Proposition 174, the school voucher initiative. The board unanimously opposed the initiative because it: Would place public schools in a tenuous financial position.
