As more families choose homeschooling, Florida legislation could provide more funding [View all]
The increased interest in homeschooling comes as the Florida state lawmakers introduced HB-1.
If passed, it would create a universal private education voucher program for all K-12 students, called the Florida Empowerment Scholarship (FES).
The Florida Policy Institute analyzed the fiscal impacts, projecting a substantial increase in the number of homeschool students using state money to cover an expense they were already paying for.
This could mean less funding for public school districts.
“The public schools have known for a long time that people have been leaving their schools to (be homeschooled),” Rawle said. “I think the real matter there is allowing parents to have the choice and the freedom to do what they think is best for their child.”
