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.
It's even more nuanced than that. If schools have a large amount of absences they can lose state money on a day to day basis. Yes, the base amount is based on those two dates.

In October the Charter school students start showing up.
What does this even mean? Charter schools start generally in August around the same time the public schools do.

Not to mention, home school kids I know are some of the most socially awkward kids out there.
They were probably going to be regardless.
Most home school programs I know have either cooperative elements or group activities.

You have 7 posts... 5 on this thread. Whose alter are you?
We have charter schools because the "traditional public schools" couldn't get the job done. I'd rather a world in which all traditional public schools were great, and we didn't need any charters at all.
But that never happened.

Yes, but that still requires someone staying at home with the kid.
I've seen some situations where you might have 3-4 families join together for homeschooling - i.e. one of the parents does the homeschooling for maybe 5-6 kids. Especially since you can buy packages that basically are self-paced self-taught systems - all the parent really needs to do is just check the work.
The reality of homeschooling is that it's only available to families who have the ability to get the materials and handle the instruction - i.e. middle to upper class families. The kids who need the most help would never have the support system to homeschool.

UVA is not "home school". UVA uses state-accredited curriculum, with [actual] certified teachers, and assignments.

Honestly, I hope it never gets to the point where kids will not have to leave home to get their education. Socially, I think it would be a bad idea.
We are still a long way off but that model would require the student to sit at home for 8-10 hours a day. It would drastically cut down instruction time and allow kids more freedom with their schedule.

I understand that... however... the kids still have to be at home, which in many cases means someone needs to be at home to supervise them.
It's more like the college version of distance learning. But adults can more easily handle that.

The charter schools are re-purposing TAXPAYER money in an attempt to provide better educational opportunities than the failed EBR School system.
It's not EBRSB's money. Remember that.

The social interaction of being in the classroom is way more important than any subject taught in modern schools. At least through high school.
That's why homeschool kids are always weird af in college

well, in the near future when the work week is 20-25 hours, it will be doable.
Traditional classrooms will become an outdated concept.

Not an alter. Just a retired public safety person, who now volunteers in the public school system. I see what is happening with charter schools. I became interested and attend school board meetings. One of the classrooms I volunteer in, had 5 students show up direct from the charter schools late October. Dont believe me, go volunteer. Go to school board meetings. Talk to teachers.

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.
Huh. This is alarming if true.

So it's sort of like how private prisons make money?
