Nonpublic school students; prohibit public school districts from restricting participation of in public school extracurricular activities.
HB 761 would have required Mississippi public school districts to allow nonpublic school students to participate in public school courses and extracurricular activities without restriction. It mandated that these students follow the same academic eligibility standards and school rules as public school students, with their nonpublic school administrator confirming eligibility. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, so it did not become law. This would have directly affected nonpublic school students seeking access to public school programs.
