Who is the official count?

Can someone explain to me how they make money? Does the state give them money?
Since charter schools don't charge tuition, they must find other ways to receive funding. State laws determine exactly how charter schools are funded. They typically receive a portion of the state's education aid money for each student who attends the school. This money would usually go to the public school system, but instead it's diverted to the charter school.
Further complicating the issue is the fact that charter schools have to fend for themselves when it comes to purchasing, building and maintaining the physical property of the school itself. Public schools can undertake large capital improvement projects through tax-payer funded bonds. Charter schools can attempt this type of funding, but it's difficult and often leaves the charter school with a higher interest rate than a public school would receive. As a result, charter schools turn to alternative means of funding. Donations from private individuals and corporations boost funding levels at some charter schools by 20 percent or more

It is an actual learning institution, not a daycare.
They actually expect people to want to LEARN, not "socially interact".
Elements of societal degeneracy usually experienced through "social interaction" in public school are not present.
Students there finish school and are able to comprehend deeper concepts than:

This program works best with a learning coach at home to oversee and monitor a student's progress. It is essential for elementary-aged students to have an adult to facilitate learning and supervision.

Bump, I really want to know how these outfits make money.
Depending on how the charter school is classified, it can be a split between state and federal funds, or if the school is part of the school district, it comes straight from the district itself.
Funding is on a per student basis and all federal funding like Title I, Title II, STEP, NCLB is provided like it would be to a public school district.

Not that I am calling you a liar, but do you happen to have any evidence of this occurring?
Such as reputable news outlets, statistics, etc.
Im genuinely intrigued and know nothing about charter schools. Went to private school from pre-k to grad school.

The charter schools are paid by taxpayer money for each student they admit. In October, after the official count has been done, the charter schools start purging students, for any reason. Behavior, performance any reason really, those students return to the public school system. The charter school still gets the taxpayer money for educating the student. Its a cycle, sign up as many students as possible, get the official count for the year, purge, get paid.
This is completely false. There are two official counts throughout the year that determine funding. One is in October and the other is in March. Schools will start receiving funding for the year based on prior year March numbers, but those numbers will be updated after the October count. Schools will be funded based on the October count until the March count is submitted. At that point, the March count will determine the total amount the school gets funded for the year. Any adjustments necessary will be made to funding for the remainder of the year. If a school goes from having 100 students in October to 70 in March, they would essentially not bring in any funds for the remainder of the year.

The charter school turns in their final head count/student roster to the school board. The charter schools are draining over 12 million dollars a year from the EBR School system.

The EBR School system has bought and paid for buildings, the school system does not own, for charter schools.

It is true in EBR, I have first hand knowledge. In October the Charter school students start showing up. The money is allocated from the October count.

I don't have a position on the school board, I attend school board meetings. It's a taxpayer money grab as bad as COA.

It's too bad you're confusing brick and mortar charter schools with UVA. You're spreading extremely fake news about UVA in this thread bigly.

Their model is probably the future of education. There's really not much of a need to be physically in classrooms anymore.
The reality is, most families have both parents who work. We make jokes about schools being "babysitters" but the reality is, the parents can go to work and earn while the kids are in school under the care of someone else.
Kids under 5th grade, no way they should be home all day alone. And even in middle/high school, not sure how many can be trusted to log in and do their work every day.
Not to mention, home school kids I know are some of the most socially awkward kids out there.

They get the same amount of money, pro-rata, that public schools get. From whatever sources, state, federal, local, etc.

I don't think that is correct.
Sometimes the charter school will lease space/schools from the school board. Sometimes at a low price.
