All resident home school students permission to participate extracurricular activities

Related bill: HF784

AI Generated Summary

The bill, SF No 411, proposes a change in Minnesota law that would allow all home-schooled students who live in the district to participate in extracurricular activities at public schools. These activities do not count for academic credit or graduation requirements, generally happen outside normal school hours, and are guided by an adult or staff member. Under the proposed change, home-schooled students must be allowed to join these activities on the same terms as students who attend public schools. The funding for these activities can come from school revenues, which must be tracked and spent specifically for extracurricular purposes. Additionally, the use of school names in these activities must be approved by the school board.
