HB363

Authorizes students enrolled in virtual schools to participate in public school activities

Complete·5/29/26

Allows students enrolled in virtual schools to participate in public school activities.

Louisiana HB363 amends existing law to authorize students enrolled in virtual schools to participate in public school activities at the public school they would otherwise attend based on their residence. These students must meet the same requirements as traditional public school students, including trying out for participation, maintaining a minimum grade point average, and complying with disciplinary standards. The bill extends the prohibition on disqualifying students solely based on their enrollment in an approved home study program or virtual school.
