What’s in it
AI summary Students who live in a school district but attend a private school can join that district's extracurricular sports and activities if the schools make an agreement. These students must pay any participation fees that the public school district charges its own students. Additionally, the number of private school students participating in these activities will not change how a public school is classified for sports competitions.1
