What’s in it
AI summary If a charter school does not have a specific sports team, students attending that school can join the team in their home school district instead. The state will count these students in the school district's enrollment to make sure the district gets the right amount of funding. The state board of education will create the rules for how this works.1
Read the official explanation
This bill authorizes students enrolled in charter schools to participate in extracurricular athletic activities provided by the student’s school district of residence as a member of a team from the student’s school district of residence if the charter school does not offer the extracurricular athletic activity. The bill provides that such students shall be included in the school district’s basic enrollment and shall be counted as one-tenth of one pupil for school funding purposes. The bill also authorizes the state board of education to adopt rules to administer this provision.
