Hawaii HB1634 aims to ensure homeschooled students have equitable access to public school extracurricular activities.

Hawaii HB1634 seeks to address the inequity faced by homeschooled students by allowing them to participate in public school extracurricular activities, such as athletics, academic competitions, and clubs. This bill aligns Hawaii's policy with those of ten other states that have enacted "equal access" legislation. Eligible homeschooled students must meet criteria including academic eligibility, vaccination requirements, and health insurance documentation. The Department of Education will implement rules for participation, including standardized application forms and liability waivers.
