Homeschooling in Nevada: The Budgetary Impact
Public schools have long asserted that homeschooling "costs" the school system money, as funding is lost when a child is not enrolled in a public school. This report shows that, on the contrary, students educated at home save school districts money over the long term, by saving taxpayer money or making additional funds available for existing students. Based on 2003 data, the annual potential cost savings to Nevada taxpayers is up to $34.6 million due to homeschooling.
