    I don’t think so. It’s if you’re not in a publicly funded school. It’s meant to offset the cost of whatever you are doing to educate your kid if it’s not a public school. But knowing desantis, the goal is more likely to refund public schools.

    Weirdly, I think it’s like 10 or 12k, and you are eligible if you homeschool through flvs, but then you have to pay for flvs. But it’s only around 4k a year. Kind of makes sense, because you’re supposed to have access as a flvs student to all the extracurriculars and clubs and things at any local public school, but in practice the schools almost uniformly refuse. So you can use the balance to pay for classes and clubs and educational materials.
