Bill > SB1822

This bill requires a Local Education Agency (LEA), which is a public school district, that operates a public high school to allow a student enrolled in a private school to participate in interscholastic athletics at the public high school they are zoned to attend, provided the private school has fewer than 200 students and the student lives within the LEA's boundaries and meets the athletic organization's eligibility requirements. This provision applies to students in grades 6-12 and specifically allows participation in sports not offered by their private school, without guaranteeing a spot on the team or overriding coaches' decisions, and does not affect the athletic organizations' authority to set eligibility rules.
