ST. LUCIE COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — As more Florida families use state voucher programs for homeschool and private school options, St. Lucie Public Schools is trying a new strategy to win some of those families back: letting them take individual classes at district schools without full-time enrollment.

The program is called à la carte courses. Homeschool and scholarship students can take individual classes at district campuses, everything from chorus to Spanish to weight training. Port St. Lucie High School alone offers more than a dozen of these courses.

The state spends about $93 million a year on Florida Empowerment Scholarships in St. Lucie County, according to Superintendent Dr. Jon R. Prince. The à la carte program is currently targeted toward homeschool students using one of those scholarships.

Prince said the goal is to offer families something they can’t easily provide on their own, including in technical fields.

“Maybe it’s a career in technical education. You want to learn how to be a diesel mechanic, outboard marine engines,” Prince said. “There are certain things that parents may not have the capacity to do that we can provide that service for that family.”

Prince said the program isn’t designed to generate revenue for the district outright, but could bring students, and the funding that comes with them, back into the public school system over time.

Families interested in signing up can go to the district’s website, where courses are listed by school, according to Prince. He said every campus in the district offers a version of the program, so families can choose classes at a school near them.

It’s one of several ways the district is trying to stay competitive as school choice expands across Florida.
