When homeschooling families register with a public charter school, their children are still a part of the public school system, but all responsibilities and services are transferred from the school district to the charter school. The state provides a certain amount of money for each student (usually $2,500 to $4,000 per year) that can be used toward curriculum, classes, tutors, and supplies.
The parent is considered the main teacher, and each parent has a credentialed teacher assigned to them to collect attendance and work samples and to help with curriculum. The teacher meets with the family every 30 learning days to make sure that families are hitting their goals and that things are going well.
Charter schools sometimes have physical buildings that homeschooled students are allowed to utilize, or they can be completely virtual.
