Summary

The bill directs school districts and governing bodies of public high schools that sponsor team sports to adopt policies allowing students enrolled at neighboring schools, which lack those sports, to petition to play. Approval must come from the neighboring school’s superintendent and the executive director of the interscholastic athletics organization, and students must first seek a spot at another high school in their own district if one offers the sport. Participation is limited to one school per sport each year and includes rules for joint teams and mid‑season sport cancellations.
