Summary

HB 5609 lets parents of children enrolled in private schools request part‑time enrollment in their local public school at any time, and it also permits those students to join public school sports and clubs. The district receives state aid for the part‑time pupil and the student pays no extra fees beyond what full‑time public students pay. The bill bars school boards from discriminating against these part‑time participants.
