What’s in it
This bill relates to the eligibility to participate in varsity interscholastic athletic contests and athletic competitions of pupils who participate in open enrollment due to the death of the pupil’s friend or relative. Current law prohibits a pupil who participates in open enrollment for purposes of attending grades through in a school district other than the pupil’s district of residence from participating in varsity interscholastic athletic contests and athletic competitions during the pupil’s first school days of enrollment in the receiving district.
Read the full explanation
However, current law establishes several exceptions to this general prohibition that allow such a pupil to participate immediately. The bill adds to that list of exceptions circumstances where the pupil participates in open enrollment because the pupil is bereaved due to the death of the pupil’s friend or relative.
