The bill amends existing law to allow children in grades six through twelve who are not enrolled in a school district to participate in cocurricular and extracurricular activities offered by that district. Specifically, it removes the requirement that these children must be full-time students in the district where they reside and clarifies that participation is permitted as long as they are not under suspension or expulsion from any Wyoming school district. The activities included are those sanctioned by the Wyoming high school activities association.
The amended provisions will take effect starting in the 2026-2027 school year, with the law officially becoming effective on July 1, 2026. This change aims to broaden access to school activities for students who may not be enrolled full-time, thereby promoting inclusivity in school-sponsored programs.
