What’s in it
AI summary Students in grades 7 through 12 who move between schools can participate in extracurricular activities immediately if their old and new schools both agree to let them. Currently, students who do not meet specific residency rules must wait several days before they are allowed to compete. This change would allow more students to join contests and competitions right away if their school districts work together.1
