STUDENTS: Authorizes students enrolled in home study programs to participate in public school activities

HB 644 allows students enrolled in home study programs to join public school activities. The bill removes a specific word from the text to ensure these students can apply for extracurricular programs without unnecessary barriers. This change directly affects families choosing home education by giving their children access to the same school events as traditional students. The legislation focuses on expanding participation opportunities rather than altering the core requirements of home study programs.
