New Jersey A3171 requires school districts to allow home-schooled students to participate in extracurricular activities in their resident district.

New Jersey A3171 mandates that school districts permit home-schooled students to join school-sponsored extracurricular activities, such as clubs, musical ensembles, interscholastic sports, and theatrical productions, within their resident district. To participate, a home-schooled student must provide proof of residency, meet eligibility and tryout criteria, and adhere to all policies and rules of the activity. If the activity involves interscholastic athletics, the student must also demonstrate they did not transfer to a home-school program for athletic advantage.
