Bill > SB114

This bill modifies Kansas state law to allow nonpublic school students, virtual school students, and students from the Kansas Academy of Mathematics and Science to participate in public school activities and district-sponsored events, ceremonies, and programs. Under the new provisions, these students must meet certain eligibility requirements, such as being a resident of the school district, complying with existing participation rules, meeting age and eligibility requirements set by the state high school activities association, and paying any required participation fees. The bill explicitly makes it unlawful for school districts or the activities association to discriminate against students based on their enrollment status. Additionally, the bill establishes that students participating in these activities will be entitled to the same rights and subject to the same responsibilities as other participating students. The legislation aims to provide more inclusive opportunities for students who are not traditionally enrolled in a public school to engage in extracurricular activities, ensuring they are not unfairly excluded based on their school enrollment type.
