Under a system where only net tax payers get to vote it would automatically incentivize non-public options. The idea being that you would keep your kid out of public schools to avoid starting them off with a tax burden that needs to be paid off.

This incentivizes creating community schooling like you want. Other options include hiring a tutor or tutors, having the mother (stay-at-home obviously) teach the children the basics then either hire a tutor or, if you are academically inclined yourself, do it yourself.

There are other options as well. Like round-robin teaching where a small community will have the children hosted at a different teacher's place each day or week or whatever.

Or rent out/build a small schoolhouse and have different parents teach what they specialize in on different days, with the basics being able to be covered by anyone. If there's nobody in the community willing/able to teach a subject offer cash incentive or hire a tutor to fill the spot.

Just replying this to all who replied to the OP so they see it.

This is what I mean - for those that care but can't afford one parent full time homeschooling. Out of that 1000 kids, maybe 100 have parents who care enough to want to homeschool. If they pool their resources, they could easily provide a quality education to their kids. Especially when you consider empty nesters, retirees who care about community, etc. Those students could also do some of the stuff (mow lawns, shovel snow) for those who help out
