Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to the provision of certain programs and services to private or parochial school pupils
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow private or parochial school pupils to participate in inter-school, intramural and extramural athletics, and other extracurricular activities with the consent of the board of education.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1: Adds a new Education Law section 3204-a to provide that local school districts shall allow private or parochial school children to participate in extracurricular activities and school athletic programs, upon a written request, to the board of education which is filed prior to June first each year.
Justification
Presently, private or parochial school pupils may participate in extracurricular activities and intramural & extramural sports at the discretion of the local board of education, are precluded from participating in interscholastic sports by regulation. However, their families pay real property taxes to financially support such local school district. This legislation would afford parents of private or parochial students the ability to bring this decision to the attention of the school bard and provide home instructed pupils with the opportunity to participate in the same after-school activities that are granted to all public school pupils.
