This bill amends Arkansas Code Title 6, Chapter 18, Subchapter 2, to allow resident school districts to permit private school students to participate in interscholastic activities under specific conditions. The new section, designated as 6-18-237, defines key terms such as "athletic activity," "interscholastic activity," "parent," "private school," "resident school," and "resident school district." It establishes that a resident school district may allow a private school student to engage in interscholastic activities if the private school does not offer the specific activity approved by the Arkansas Activities Association.

The bill aims to provide more opportunities for private school students to participate in extracurricular activities at public schools, thereby promoting inclusivity and engagement in sports and other interscholastic programs. The definitions included in the bill clarify the scope of participation and the criteria that must be met for a private school student to join these activities in their resident school district.
