Bill > HF783

This bill amends Minnesota law to ensure that resident charter school students and home-schooled students can participate in extracurricular activities at their local public school district on the same basis as traditional public school students. Currently, the law allows school boards to control extracurricular activities, which are defined as non-credit, typically out-of-school-hours activities guided by an adult and primarily determined by student participants. The bill specifically modifies language to mandate (changing "shall" to "must") that school districts allow charter school and home-schooled students to be fully eligible for these activities. Previously, the law referenced a specific definition of home schooling, which is now replaced with a broader reference to compliance with state home schooling statutes. The bill maintains existing provisions about how extracurricular activities can be funded, managed, and conducted, ensuring that charter and home-schooled students have equal opportunities to participate in school-sponsored activities like sports, clubs, and other student programs.
