AI Generated Summary

This bill, proposed in Minnesota, aims to allow students who attend charter schools or are homeschooled to participate in extracurricular activities at public schools. It modifies the existing law to ensure that these students have the same access to extracurricular activities as students who attend public schools. The bill implements this by amending the relevant sections of the Minnesota Statutes to specify that these non-public school students can join extracurricular programs managed by public schools. The bill also outlines what qualifies as an extracurricular activity and how the related costs and revenues should be managed within the school district.
