>>>Matthew made a good point,though, that there are younger kids
without families or in bad family situations who would benefit from
something like this. But wouldn't that be basically a foster program
then?

***Now there's a really great idea, and the state might pay that low
tuition for fulltime coverage. I don't know what they pay ... but as
Sandra aptly pointed out, not all of us who care about kids are in
the kind of situation to take in more happily. I'd rather, at this
point, help sponsor a disadvantaged child in an unschooling-type-
school/home (is that what we are talking about here?)

There are parents trying to just legally homeschool foster kids let alone
trying to pass unschooling and a boarding situation off to them. The school would
need to be approved by DHS and the parents of the children would need to
approve also if they were still involved.
I would think that Matt would or may already have a list of interested
families without waiting a year or more for all the DHS red tape. Then add to it the
want to be there by the child. If its forced in any way we are no longer
looking at an unschooling situation.
