HF 2004 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to nonpublic school student participation in extracurricular interscholastic activities provided by public schools.

HF 2004 allows students enrolled in nonpublic schools to participate in public school extracurricular activities like sports, theater, show choir, and band under specific conditions. Nonpublic school students must live within the public school district or a contiguous district, and the activity cannot have been offered by their nonpublic school in the past two years or be covered by another existing agreement. Public school districts may charge nonpublic students the same fee as public students for participation, and these students must follow the public school's conduct rules. The bill ensures nonpublic students meet the same eligibility requirements as public school students for these activities.
