    4. A school district may not authorize a currently enrolled public school student to be instructed in the home if there is a pending child abuse or neglect investigation against either custodial parent or a person instructing the child, or if either custodial parent or a person instructing the child has ever been convicted of domestic violence or child abuse or neglect.

Upon determination by the school district superintendent that an investigation has been initiated, the superintendent shall request confirmation of case status from the office of children and family services, which shall provide confirmation within forty-eight hours of receipt of such request. italics
