MS SB2329

Allows homeschool students to participate in interscholastic extracurricular activities (band and sports) sponsored by the public school district to which they would be assigned or could choose to attend under open enrollment.

Homeschool students must pay participation fees equal to public school students, meet the same academic and behavioral standards, pass psychometric evaluation, and comply with physical exam, immunization, and eligibility requirements.

Students transferring from public school to homeschool must wait 12 months before participating on interscholastic extracurricular teams.

Prohibits public schools from discriminating against eligible homeschool students in team selection and allows such students to use existing transportation if no additional costs are incurred by the district.

Specifies that extracurricular activity participation is a privilege, not a right, and prohibits students from filing lawsuits against schools over participation decisions; effective July 1, 2015.
