More students can join public school activities
Effective upon publication in the Kansas Register, the law opens covered public school activities to private, home-schooled, and virtual students. They participate at the district school serving their home address. Kansas Academy of Mathematics and Science students participate at the district school serving the academy's designated college location. Covered activities are those regulated, supervised, promoted, or developed by the Kansas State High School Activities Association. Students must meet applicable academic, health, age, eligibility, and tryout rules and pay the usual district participation fees. Home-schooled students must make satisfactory progress toward the next grade. A parent, teacher, or instruction provider can establish their academic eligibility for the season by submitting an affidavit or transcript to the association. Virtual students need not take district courses unless the local board applies the same course requirement to all participants. Districts must also allow participants into directly related district events; district policies can govern access to unrelated events. Eligible participants have the same rights and duties as others, except for the law's stated exceptions. Districts and the association cannot discriminate against them because of enrollment status.
Activity limits for students leaving public schools
Students leaving a district school for a private, nonpublic, or virtual school face limits on immediate full activity participation. An exception allows full participation at their former school if they were eligible for full participation when they withdrew. District and activities association policies can also allow limited participation.
