Michigan SB0589 requires school boards to allow homeschooled or nonpublic school children to participate in extracurricular activities.

Michigan SB0589 amends the Michigan Compiled Laws to mandate that school boards cannot prohibit eligible children from participating in extracurricular activities such as interscholastic athletics, theater, band, orchestra, and debate. An eligible child is defined as one who resides within the district, meets eligibility standards, and is not barred by conference or association policies. The bill ensures homeschooled or nonpublic school children can join activities offered by the district.
