The home school student program units shall be paid to the school district in which they are generated. A home school student is eligible to enroll in a public school in the attendance zone in which the student resides or in another public school outside the attendance zone as provided in Section 22-1-4 NMSA 1978. The school district shall verify each home school student's academic and other eligibility to enroll in the class.
