Bill > HB2528

This bill amends West Virginia state law to permit elementary and middle school students enrolled in private, parochial, church schools, or other nonpublic schools to participate in county-level athletic tournaments under specific conditions. Specifically, these students must have played against at least two public schools during the previous regular athletic season to be eligible for participation in end-of-season county athletic tournaments, with the exception of invitational tournaments. This change expands athletic opportunities for students in non-public schools by allowing them to compete in county tournaments, provided they have demonstrated some prior competitive experience against public school teams. The bill modifies existing regulations governing extracurricular athletic activities, which are overseen by the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission, to create this new pathway for participation for private and religious school students at the elementary and middle school levels.
