AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure that students with disabilities have equal opportunities to participate in mainstream physical education and athletic programs in their school districts. It requires school districts to provide reasonable modifications or aids and services to allow students with disabilities to participate fully in these programs, to the extent possible. The bill also mandates that school districts offer unified sports or inclusive programs that combine students with and without disabilities, either within existing physical education and athletic activities or as part of interscholastic programs. The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association is authorized to establish interscholastic athletic programs for students with intellectual, developmental, visual, or physical disabilities participating in these unified or inclusive programs.
