Authorizes private school students to participate in extracurricular activities at public schools under certain conditions
HB 3485 allows students attending private, home, or full-time virtual schools to participate in public school sports, fine arts, and other extracurricular activities if their own school does not offer those specific activities. Public schools must permit this participation without requiring students to attend public school classes or enroll in the public school. Students must provide residency proof, pass physicals for sports, follow the same conduct rules, and pay the same fees as public school students. The bill prohibits public schools from creating separate disciplinary or attendance rules for these students and prevents them from blocking participation based on a student’s school type.
