Allows virtual school students to participate in interscholastic athletics if they meet eligibility requirements.
Tennessee HB0355 amends state law to allow virtual school students to participate in interscholastic athletics at public schools. If the school is part of an organization regulating such competitions and sets eligibility rules for virtual students, these students can try out for teams. The bill ensures virtual students are not barred from trying out solely due to their virtual status, though it does not guarantee they will make the team. The authority of coaches and organizations to set eligibility and team selection rules remains intact. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
