Bill > S1674

This bill requires school districts in New Jersey to allow home-schooled students to participate in school-sponsored extracurricular activities, such as clubs, sports, and theater, within their district of residence, provided they meet the same eligibility and try-out criteria as enrolled students and can prove residency. For interscholastic sports, home-schooled students must demonstrate they did not switch to home-schooling primarily for athletic advantage, and those who left public school due to ineligibility will remain ineligible. If physical examinations are required for participation, the school district must allow home-schooled students to access them and publicize the dates and times online.
