SB 819 Missouri Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Creates, modifies, and repeals provisions relating to participation of certain students in nontraditional educational settings

This bill updates Missouri laws to clarify how home school and virtual school students can join public school extracurricular activities like sports and fine arts. It prohibits school districts and statewide activity groups from banning these students from participation or forcing them to attend physical classes just to join events. While these students must follow the same behavior rules and provide proof of residency, the bill also prevents districts from creating separate disciplinary policies for them and restricts their eligibility for one year if they previously left the public system due to poor grades or conduct.
