Provide for admission of and participation in extracurricular activities by certain students that are not residents of the school district

LB 497 requires Nebraska school boards to allow non-resident students (who are already admitted to attend school under existing residency rules) to participate in extracurricular activities like sports and clubs. It amends statutes to mandate this participation for students who are not residents of the school district but meet specific admission criteria, such as living near the district border or having parents residing there. The bill focuses on expanding access to activities beyond classroom attendance, aligning with current admission policies. Note: This bill was amended into LB 306 on June 6, 2025.
