As enrollment in Franklin County Public Schools declines, homeschooling has been on the rise. The school district has been examining an alternative solution by adding an online program. This would allow the district to increase its state subsidy because enrollment would increase in grades 6-12, which are the target grade levels for the online program. Students enrolled in the program would be required to take Standards of Learning tests before receiving a high school diploma from Franklin County High School. Bringing homeschool students into the system — even if only virtually — is one way to bring enrollment figures back up.
