This bill amends Arkansas law to allow resident school districts to permit private school students to participate in interscholastic activities under specific conditions. It introduces a new section, 6-18-237, which defines key terms such as "athletic activity," "interscholastic activity," "parent," "private school," "resident school," and "resident school district." The bill stipulates that a private school student may engage in an interscholastic activity at their resident school if the private school does not offer that activity, provided it is approved by the Arkansas Activities Association.

Additionally, the bill requires that if a private school student participates in an interscholastic activity that does not occur during a designated class period, they must be enrolled in a nonacademic class that coincides with the activity. This enrollment condition is necessary for the resident school district to receive a portion of state foundation funding for the duration of the student's participation. Overall, the bill aims to expand opportunities for private school students to engage in extracurricular activities at public schools while ensuring compliance with funding regulations.
