EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND COMMUNITY SCHOOL/STEM SCHOOL STUDENTS

3313.537

A student enrolled in a community school or STEM school must be afforded the opportunity to participate in any extracurricular activities at the school of the student's resident school district to which the student would have been assigned (regardless of whether the community school or STEM school is sponsored or operated by the school district as required under prior law). The superintendent of any school district is permitted to afford to any student who is enrolled in a community school or STEM school and who is not entitled to attend school in that district, the opportunity to participate in the school's extracurricular activities if (1) the student's school does not offer the extracurricular activity, and (2) the activity is not interscholastic athletics or interscholastic contests or competition in music, drama, or forensics. A school district board of education cannot require a community school student to enroll and participate in one or more academic courses as a condition to participating in an extracurricular activity. A school district board of education is also prohibited from imposing additional rules on a community school or STEM school student that do not apply to other students participating in the same extracurricular activity. Students receiving home instruction must be permitted to participate in an extracurricular activity at the school of the student's resident school district to which the student would otherwise be assigned. The superintendent of a school district is authorized, but not required, to allow a student receiving home instruction who is not entitled to attend school in that district to participate in a school's extracurricular activities, if the activity is not offered by the student’s resident district. A school district, interscholastic conference, or organization that regulates interscholastic conferences or events is prohibited from imposing eligibility requirements on homeschooled students that conflict with the provisions above.
