Another newbie!

Hi everyone!! My family just relocated to Florida from Pennsylvania about a week ago. We live in Polk County and just enrolled our two daughters in 5th and 3rd grade into public school. I have to say just enrolling them was a nightmare. We were told we had to go to the department of health to have their immunizations recorded onto a "blue card." While there they misread their files and wanted to give our daughter a second round of shots she already had, and this happened twice with two different people. After all was finally settled we get to the school only to find out they forgot to record one of my daughters MMR's so she was denied access to school. After clearing that up we actually got to see the school and I have to say we were less than impressed. We dropped our DD's off and regretted it the whole way home.
So, we are thinking of pulling them from this school and home schooling. I am already a stay at home mom, so I may as well school them myself right? Problem is there is soooo much info my head is spinning!!!
Anyone know where to start? I am on a budget due to the move, so the friendlier to the pocket the better right now. Also I am not looking for any faith based teaching. I have found the site that gives you the laws, so that is a good start, right?
Thanks for any help you can provide!!
