SCHOOL/STEM

SCHOOL STUDENTS

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.

resident district.
