Broward County, for example,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.browardschools.com\/cms\/lib\/FL01803656\/Centricity\/Domain\/13485\/Notice%20Of%20Intent.pdf\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reviews portfolios monthly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for students with a prior pattern of public school non-attendance.

Three developments do deserve your attention.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Extracurricular access.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Senate Bill 538 became<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flsenate.gov\/Session\/Bill\/2026\/538\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chapter 2026-93<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> after the Governor approved it on May 22, 2026, and it took effect on July 1, 2026. The Florida Home Education Foundation<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flhef.org\/post\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-rewrite-of-homeschool-extracurriculars\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">summarizes the rewrite<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this way: home education and Personalized Education Program (PEP) students may take part in any school&#8217;s extracurricular activity in their district when their own school doesn&#8217;t offer it, and trying out doesn&#8217;t guarantee a spot on the team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same summary says districts can&#8217;t charge home education students fees that public school students don&#8217;t pay, and that a student who plays sports at one school stays with that school for the rest of the year. Because that summary comes from an advocacy group, read the final law or ask your district before you plan around it.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Scholarship funding.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Personalized Education Program gives families an education savings account if their child doesn&#8217;t attend public or private school full time. Applications for 2026-27 closed on April 30, 2026, and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stepupforstudents.org\/scholarships\/personalized-education-program\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step Up for Students<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> hasn&#8217;t posted 2027-28 dates yet, although families can sign up for updates. PEP students count as scholarship students and not as home education students, so weigh the reporting rules on both sides before you switch.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Enrollment counts.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Johns Hopkins Homeschool Research Lab found that Florida&#8217;s homeschool numbers dipped 1.7% in 2024-25, but the state<\/span><a
