To Include Homeschool Enrollment  
in Statistical Reports of the Synod 
WHEREAS, The Synod tracks Lutheran schools and their 
enrollees in its statistical records; and 
WHEREAS, The homeschools of our congregation members are 
Lutheran schools; and 
WHEREAS, A full accounting of all Lutheran schools and all 
students so enrolled is essential for congregations, districts, and the 
Synod to support such educational endeavors; therefore be it 
Resolved, That each congregation include as a separate category 
in the statistical reports of the Synod the number of households 
engaged in homeschooling and the number of children, preschool 
through twelfth grade so enrolled; and be it further 
Resolved, That congregations, districts, and the Synod account 
for all Lutheran schools in their promotion and support of Lutheran 
education.
