MN SF1585

Charter school students who are residents of a school district may participate in extracurricular activities offered by their resident district on the same basis as public school students enrolled in that district.

Charter school students must provide at least 30 days' notice to both their enrolling charter school and resident district before participating in a resident district extracurricular activity, and the charter school must agree in writing to pay the costs attributable to that student.

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, and must meet the resident district's academic and conduct requirements.

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

Amendments apply to Minnesota Statutes sections 123B.36, 123B.49, and 124D.10, effective for the 2015-2016 school year and later.
