Preamble: This group was formed for the purpose of supporting each other's quest in meeting our children's educational, social, and moral development in making the choice to homeschool. We also provide enriching opportunites through activities such as field trips, cooperative classes and community service. The desire is to create a postive environment for both teachers and students to share and grow together. The latest news, teaching techniques, laws, events or any other information pertinent to homeschooling will be distributed to members. We believe in working to preserve our God given right to homeschool our children. We will be active in political reform that supports a parent's right to homeschool their children.
We do not discriminate from allowing members to join based on their religion, race, nation origin, or choice of homeschooling style. Therefore, members do not have to sign a statement of faith to join. However, members fully realize and respect the fact that this group is based on Judeo-Christian beliefs. On the other hand, members will respect the fact that not everyone in the group may share the same faith.
We acknowledge that not all parents were called by God to educate their children at home.

Members agree to abide by L.I.G.H.T.'s Code of Conduct at all times. Because we represent homeschoolers at large, parents and children are expected to be cooperative, well mannered and submissive to authority. Parents are to maintain control of their children and enforce any discipline required. Adults are expected to display kind and curteous behavior toward one another at all times. If a problem arises between members (children or adult) it is to be brought to the immediate attention of the president or vice-president. Any infraction of the policies as outlined in the By-Laws and L.I.G.H.T.'s Code of Conduct is subject to one warning or immediate expulsion, depending on the offense.
Everyone in the group serves in the capacity of a volunteer. No monetary compensation will be allowed. However, group members are to display gratitude of how hard these volunteers work to preserve this group and provide all of the wonderful activities and opportunites. Please take the time to say thank you and do not criticize volunteers.
Leadership: Our group is made up of a Board of Directors consisting of the President and the Vice-President. Both will mutually decide all decions brought before the Board and any other decisions that need to be made regarding the group including, but not exclusive to, decisions regarding finances, maintaining content and design of the web site, membership, filling and creating positions, disputes, and activities. Decisions made by the Board are final. However, the Board of Directors may decide to open up decisions to the members at large through a vote. The topic to be voted on and the location of the vote will be announced no later than 7 days from the time the vote is to take place. The Board of Directors also makes and has the right to ammend the conduct codes and the by-laws during the yearly review occuring every January 1.

Event & Administrative Coordinators: When a position becomes vacant, a member needs to volunteer. In the event that two or more people volunteer for the same position, the Board of Directors may choose to hold an election in which the members vote for the person that they most want to fill the position.
