MN SF787

Allows charter school students who reside in a school district to participate in extracurricular activities offered by their resident district on the same basis as public school students, with charter schools required to give 30-day notice and pay applicable fees.

Charter school students are ineligible to participate in extracurricular activities offered by their own charter school or activities not controlled by the high school league under chapter 128C.

Charter school students must meet the resident district's academic and conduct requirements, and charter schools must collect and transmit student eligibility information to the district at least 10 days before participation begins.

School districts may charge charter schools the lesser of one-half the statewide average per pupil expenditure on student activities and athletics or the charter school's proportional share of uncovered activity costs; districts may also charge charter school students the same fees as enrolled students.

Provisions are effective for the 2009-2010 school year and later, amending Minnesota Statutes sections 123B.36, 123B.49, and 124D.10.
