Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. For the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 School Years, the requirements of Section 59-63-100(A)(3) of the 1976 Code are waived for homeschool students as defined in Section 59-65-40, 59-64-45, or 59-65-47. For the purposes of this resolution, eligible students must have been enrolled in a public school for the beginning of either the 2019-2020 School Year or 2020-2021 School Year.
SECTION 2. The four academic course requirement provided by Section 59-39-160, and as also may be provided by regulation, for all students to participate in interscholastic activities, including all sports-related activities, is waived due to the COVID-19 pandemic for the 2020-2021 School Year. And for this school year, to participate in interscholastic activities, including all sports-related activities, students must achieve an overall passing average in at least three academic courses and be on track for graduation.
