AI Summary

This bill amends the South Carolina Code of Laws to provide limited situations in which high school students who attend private schools may participate in high school league sports offered at public high schools. The bill defines "private school" and outlines the specific criteria that must be met for a private school student to try out and participate in a public school's interscholastic athletic program, such as residing within the public school's attendance zone, the private school not being a member of the South Carolina High School League, and the student meeting all eligibility requirements except for school attendance and enrollment. The bill also prohibits public school districts from contracting with private entities that supervise interscholastic athletic programs if they prohibit the participation of private school students.
