Allows home-schooled children to participate in interscholastic athletic activities and drivers ed in the district where they reside
S 2465 would allow home-schooled children residing in a school district to participate in that district's interscholastic sports and driver's education programs, provided they meet the program's requirements and pay any applicable fees. The bill amends education law to permit this participation even if the child does not attend a public school within the district. It specifically states that home-schooled students cannot be enrolled in another school within the same district while participating. This change directly affects home-schooled students and school districts offering these activities. The bill is currently pending in the Education committee.
