If a home school is “one operated under the auspices or control of a local church or religious congregation or a denomination,” it may be regarded as a parochial, church, or religious school. Such schools are exempt from state regulation pursuant to § 21-2-406. “Nothing contained in W.S. 21-4-102(b), 21-2-401 or 21-2-406 grants to the state of Wyoming…any right or authority to control, manage, [or] supervise…any parochial, church, or religious school which meets the requirements of W.S. 21-2-406(a).”
