A 10631 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Allows home-schooled children to participate in interscholastic athletic activities and drivers ed in the district where they reside

This bill allows home-schooled children living in a school district to join interscholastic sports and driver's education classes offered by that district. The main provision permits these students to participate in athletic activities and courses if they meet the standard requirements and pay any applicable fees, as long as they do not attend another school within the same district. The law also specifies that this option becomes available only when the district actually offers these programs. The changes would take effect approximately 120 days after the bill is signed into law.
