Libraries are a homeschoolers paradise
Have them look into what home school programs are in their state. In Ohio am homeschooling using OHVA (an online school). There are some good online schools! In some cities, the public school has a home-tech program that gives the parents the materials to use at home (the school can then still count him as a student in the school and get state $ for him). They can also post on craigslist and freecycle for homeschooling materials.
