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 or charter school from expending any moneys to pay dues or membership fees to a high school organization after January 1, 2024, unless the organization, for the purposes of an extracurricular interscholastic activity, classifies each school participating in an extracurricular interscholastic activity for each school year beginning on or after July 1, 2023, based on the adjusted enrollment and the school’s recent performance in the respective extracurricular interscholastic activity. Adjusted enrollment is based on the total point value of the roster of students participating in the extracurricular interscholastic activity team. Point values for public school, not including charter school, students are based on a student and the student’s parent or guardian’s residence and how long the students have been registered at a school. Point values for nonpublic school and charter school students are based on how long a student has been registered in a school system associated with the nonpublic school in which the student participates in extracurricular interscholastic activities. Schools must provide rosters to an organization at a time prior to the beginning of competitions for a school year. Classifications based on performance must be applied on a per extracurricular interscholastic activity basis and must be evaluated by the organization a minimum of once every two school years. The bill contains a similar requirement for the expenditure of any moneys originating from the state by an accredited or unaccredited nonpublic school.
