Athletics in Public K-12 Schools

Summary

The bill lets a head coach of a public school sports team spend up to $15,000 of their own money each year on things like food, rides and recovery services for a student, as long as a parent signs a consent form. Coaches must report the spending to the Florida High School Athletic Association, which will treat it as a permissible benefit unless it is unreported, deemed bad faith, or used for recruiting. The measure also updates related rules on medical evaluations, physician liability, and background checks for athletic officials.
