Requires school districts to let nonpublic school students participate in district high school interscholastic athletics.

This bill requires New Jersey public school districts to allow students attending nonpublic schools (like private or religious schools) to try out for and join high school sports teams in their residential district, provided they meet the same eligibility standards as public school students, such as academic requirements, physical exams, and team conduct rules. Nonpublic school students must provide proof of residency and comply with district-specific requirements like insurance, fees, and age limits. Districts may charge nonpublic students a fee up to the actual cost per pupil for the sport, but not for students qualifying for financial hardship (using the same criteria as free school meal eligibility). The bill does not require districts to provide transportation or alter team schedules for these students.
