[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High school sports teams are part of the larger high school community. [b]Pretty sure homeschool kids and their families would not be showing up to pep rallies, going en masse to cheer on another school team, donating to the athletic boosters, posing for the team yearbook photo, volunteering at the snack bar, etc. [/b]It’s not nearly as simple as “But muh taxes paid for this!”[/quote]

I don’t see why they wouldn’t participate in there if given the opportunity. Can’t they take a few classes a la carte, like some electives?

Every time a family elects not to attend public school and attend homeschool/private school instead, isn’t there more money in the general fund (where school dollars come
From) to do other things with those “saved” dollars at the state/county level? I know schools have a head count day that helps determines future funding, but after that date, FCPS doesn’t care as much about numbers. So, if a homeschooler could be counted bc of their part-time status wouldn’t that help the school too?

They already can.  Homeschool or online private school students can take two courses in FCPS each year.  We looked into this for a specific academic class but the logistics made it impossible for us.   The reason they can’t participate in school activities, is students have to be enrolled full time as as FCPS student to participate in sports or activities at the school.   https://www.fcps.edu/registration/home-instruction[/quote]
