Homeschool and Private School Participantion in Public School Sports

[Thunder_struck8712]

A bill has been filed in the State Senate to allow homeschool and private school students to participate in sports at a public school if the sports are not offered by their homeschool co-op or private school.

I'm all for giving kids a chance to compete and participate in sports but the biggest part of me says the decision was made to not attend the public school system so why should one reap the benefits of a public school?

I also see this being an issue with eligibility potentially.

Homeschool, private school students could play sports at public schools under new bill

The bill would allow students attending private or homeschool to play sports or other extracurricular activities at their local public school. It also would allow public school kids to play at a different public school if their school does not offer the specific activity.

I assume at all public schools, eligibility for sports partly depends on grades and attendance. How would this work for those that are home schooled and want to play a sport at a public school? If a home schooler is getting "class time" Mon, Wed, Fri for 3 hours per day, that is not the same as attending a public school for several hours a day Mon to Fri. And I wonder if this home schooler can pick and choose what public school they want to play for? For example, if they want to play football and live in the Garinger HS district, will they have to play at Garinger or can they pick and choose a HS with a winning football team? Even if that means a 45-60 minute drive to get to that school?

NCHSAA eligibility standards students can only fail 1 less than their course load. I feel like this may have changed. Not sure attendance without looking. 85% maybe.

Does anyone have any insight to a typical home school schedule and classload?

The bill would require them to play at the closest school though I could see that being abused somehow and schools can charge a fee which I'm sure some lawmakers will buck over.
