What’s in it
This bill relates to the expenditure of public moneys for dues or membership fees to high school organizations that do not meet certain requirements concerning school classifications for extracurricular interscholastic activities. The bill defines “extracurricular interscholastic activity” as a contest or competition for academics, arts, music, speech, or sports between different schools and outside the regular scope of a school’s curriculum. The bill defines “organization” as a corporation, association, or organization which has as one of its primary purposes the sponsoring or administration of an extracurricular interscholastic activity, but does not include an agency of this state, a public or private school or school board, or an athletic conference or other association whose interscholastic contests or competitions do not include more than schools.
Read the full explanation
The bill prohibits a school district from expending any moneys to pay dues or membership fees to a high school organization after January 1, 2023, unless the organization classifies, for the purposes of extracurricular interscholastic activities, each nonpublic school one classification higher than the classification the nonpublic school would have been assigned based on enrollment. The bill does not apply when a nonpublic school is already in the classification with the largest schools based on enrollment or if the activity is not divided into classifications. The requirements of the bill apply on a per activity basis. The bill contains a similar requirement for the expenditure of any moneys originating from the state by an accredited or unaccredited nonpublic school.
