The non-profit she is calling, was assigned the new ESA grant (when it changed from the McKay scholarship). So, apparently there is an issue with Abbie’s paperwork and getting her grant access, which means people probably haven’t been paid OR since they lost their teacher, she may have lost 2nd quarter funding (as I am sure the funds are dispensed quarterly, most stated do dispense this way).
I am wondering if the state is questioning her homeschool eligibility. It can happen, as she was formally “graduated” from JSA. Even if they try to sham it out, the school could have marked her graduated in their eyes.
This could also explain the teacher leaving. She could have failed to be paid or was told they were looking into Abbie’s eligibility for the program more.
A&P fail to realize that people don’t just watch their vlogs for education. Some people watch them to know what is going on and others are watching and reporting back to superiors within programs. I guarantee someone in Florida is watching and reporting this all back to their program heads. These programs have strict rules and regulations, that are written into State laws, and be followed to the maximum and a fraudulent representation or lies, can carry fines and jail sentences. Them not having a certified teacher and still trying to claim “homeschooling” in Florida is a huge issue, due to their homeschool laws alone. Then, them trying to use homeschooling grants is a red flag, when they don’t meet the state requirements to homeschool.
With this program being so new, everything is being double and triple checked though. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did a first payment, just to get the students funding for the first quarter but are doing look backs and questioning what paperwork was submitted and verifying it all.. They could even be told that they have to pay back the first quarter funds too, if the state determines she isn’t being homeschooled.
