New Jersey A1447 permits school districts to allow nonpublic school students to participate in resident district high school interscholastic athletics if the nonpublic school does not sponsor a team or squad in the desired sport. The student must meet the same eligibility requirements as public school students, including physical examinations, insurance, fees, age, and academic standards. A board of education may charge a fee, not exceeding the actual cost per pupil, unless the student qualifies for financial hardship.
