*** The Home School Assistance Program (HSAP) is a voluntary program through which districts can receive additional school aid funding to offer programming for home-schooled students. If a district offers HSAP, families of home-schooled students in the district may sign up to receive support from the school district, which must include contact between a licensed teacher and the family four times a quarter, half of which must be face-to-face with the student. The instructor can also advise the parent or guardian about lesson plans, pedagogical techniques, student evaluation, and other areas. For each student enrolled in HSAP, the district receives 0.3 weighting in the school aid formula.
