HOUSE BILL No. 5613

 

May 29, 2014, Introduced by Reps. McMillin, Hooker, Yonker and Genetski and referred to the Committee on Education.

 

     A bill to amend 1976 PA 451, entitled

 

"The revised school code,"

 

(MCL 380.1 to 380.1852) by adding section 1180.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 1180. (1) A school-age child who is enrolled in a

 

nonpublic school or who is being homeschooled may participate in

 

any extracurricular activity offered by a school of the school

 

district in which the child resides. The school officials of the

 

school district in which the child resides shall allow the child to

 

participate in the extracurricular activity on the same basis as

 

pupils of the school at which the activity is offered. The school

 

officials of the school district shall not prohibit or interfere

 

with the child's participation in the extracurricular activity

 

based in whole or part on the fact that the child is enrolled in a

 

nonpublic school or is being homeschooled, or on the identity of

 

the nonpublic school in which the child is enrolled or of the

 

person providing the homeschooling.

 

     (2) As used in this section, "extracurricular activity"

 

includes any activity engaged in by pupils of a school district

 

that is not part of the school district's academic curriculum but

 

is in some way sponsored or endorsed by the school district or is

 

held within or on property owned or controlled by the school

 

district.
