Looks like this is not just a NM problem:
New York special education services discontinued for homeschooled children January 15th, 2008
Home schoolers lose special education aid, 15 January 2008, Times Union, Albany, New York
School districts across the state will soon be ordered to stop providing special education services to home-schooled students, according to state Education Department officials who say the change is mandated by federal law.
…
The policy, according to the memo, stems from federal law that allows money for home schools only if they are recognized by the state as schools. New York state law does not do that. The new policy does not apply to private and parochial school students.
The New York State Education Department issued a memo about the changes, and has already removed the Q&A section about special education from it’s website.
