Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would allow students who attend private or religious schools to participate in sports teams at their local public school, as long as they meet certain requirements and follow set procedures. It creates new rules defining who qualifies and how the process works. This matters to Kentuckians because it would expand athletic opportunities for students who currently attend nonpublic schools. Who it may affect: students attending private or religious schools, public school athletic programs, and families in districts where both public and nonpublic schools operate.
