St. Clair County ROE has their own version of Homeschooling Faqs posted. Here’s the first answer and you get the idea about their agenda. They go right to the(ir) point:

Q:What do I have to do to start homeschooling?
___A: Register with the state.
Fill out a registration form and return to your Regional Office of Education.
This form will be forwarded to the Illinois State Board of Education and the local school district to inform them that you will be homeschooling your child. The registration form is voluntary, but serves as proof if you would ever need to account for your child not being enrolled in a public or parochial school.
Please remember, homeschoolers, that registration is not mandated or necessary:
