Proposal opens public school sports to private students

MADISON - Home-schooled students and those attending private, virtual or charter schools would have to be allowed to play sports and participate in extracurricular activities at their local public school under a proposal backed by Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature.

The proposal was set to be added to the state budget by the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee on Tuesday.

A student attending a charter school or a private school could only participate in a sport not offered at their private or charter school.
