HB 586: School Extracurricular Activities

H.B. 586, P.N. 659 (O’NEILL) This would amend the Public School Code, Act 14 of 1949, P.L. 30.
This would define “extracurricular activity” as one that is sponsored or approved by the School Directors, offers no credit towards graduation, is conducted at least in part outside of the regular instructional day schedule, and is available to any students who volunteers to join, subject to eligibility requirements of the activity. Interscholastic athletics, including varsity sports, would be considered extracurricular in nature.
