the ads say the students get to participate in local district activities. If a child enrolls through a school district, does that district still get the money for that student?

No. Just like homeschooled kids, they have every right to participate in their local school activities [[sports, school psychologist, social worker, after school activities, etc). The local school district does not get the state and federal monies for those kids.

so the district has to support the kids' activities with no compensation. absurd

No. If a home schooled student uses some portion of district services, the district receives proportional compensation from the state.

Schools don't want home schooled students, of course, because they want the full compensation for the student.
