AI Generated Summary

The legislative bill SF No 412 proposes to amend the educational laws in Minnesota to allow students from charter schools, as well as homeschooled students, to fully participate in extracurricular activities provided by public schools. These activities are defined as non-academic activities that are mainly held outside of school hours, are not for school credit, nor required for graduation. The bill specifies that these students should be allowed to join these activities on the same terms as students who attend public schools. Additionally, the bill outlines requirements for funding and managing these activities, including how the funds should be recorded and spent by school districts.
