What’s in it
This bill relates to the eligibility of students enrolled in public schools or nonpublic schools in border states or in counties that border another state to compete in interscholastic athletic activities provided by public schools or nonpublic schools in the other state. The bill provides that if a school district or a nonpublic school located in a county that borders another state cannot form a team for an interscholastic athletic activity because not enough students have registered to participate, the school district or the nonpublic school may complete an agreement with a non-Iowa public school or nonpublic school that borders the county in which the school district or nonpublic school is located to provide for the eligibility of the non-Iowa students in interscholastic athletic activities provided by the school district or nonpublic school.
