AI Summary

This bill requires school district boards of education to adopt a policy allowing students who are educated through other means, such as homeschooling, to participate in extracurricular activities offered by the student's resident school district. The policy must be published and include eligibility criteria, such as registering an intention to participate, paying fees, adhering to behavior and academic standards, and complying with school athletic association rules. The bill also amends the Oklahoma Extracurricular Activities Accountability Act to require school athletic associations to allow participation of these students in interscholastic activities or contests.
