Membership Requirements

Application for participating and voting membership in SAIL is open to any* homeschooling family in Collin County and surrounding areas that supports the purpose and mission statements found in the SAIL By-Laws. SAIL membership applications are held in pending status until all membership requirements are met. All SAIL members are required to maintain these requirements throughout the life of their membership.

*Exceptions: While SAIL strives to be an inclusive group, there are rare situations that would require the Board to decline a family’s application. Due to potential safety concerns, it is our policy to deny, restrict, or revoke a family’s membership in SAIL if we find out that an immediate family member is listed on the Sex Offender Registry.
