Can a texas homeschool student play on the local high scholl football team?

Question

im a homeschool student in texas and i really want to play football. and i was wondering if i am allowed to play on the local high school football team

Answer 1

First off, any student that participates in any publically funded activity must abide by no-pass no-play law.

HSLD/THSC information is extremely old. I’m not sure if it was accurate 10+ years ago when it was posted. Home school organizations are not in the business of getting students into the public schools. You can go to the forums on homeschool.com for up to date information and the actual laws that regulate the schools. There are also links to newspaper articles about students that are not enrolled in the public school that are participating on the public school team.

Answer 3

If I pay taxes for public schools, my child should be able to participate in public school activities, even if they are homeschooled or go to a private school. Or, I should be exempt from paying public school taxes while my child is enrolled in private school or being homeschooled.

To Guest 22110251,

( and anyone who believes him/her,  please consider this)

I have read the information you refer to, and do not reach the same conclusion.  I followed the links...but they were supplied by wiki, and we all know that wiki info should be verified, so I read everything.  There is no UIL or TEA document that gives full access to homeschooled and private school students.  Look, people in Texas, THSC is the authority on homeschool rules in Texas. I am not a member, so I'm not tooting this horn for any reason.  But  Tim Lambert (and THSC) does know the up-to-date answers to questions like this.

Answer 5

THSC information is extremely inaccurate and/or outdated. The law now requires the public schools to allow all students that reside within the schools boundary equal access to all activities.

Texas is an equal access state. Charter/Home/Private school students may now participate in all public school extra-curricular activities. In 2008 two non-public school students won UIL wrestling championships.

From wiki:

The Texas Legislature rewrote titles 1 and 2 of the Texas Education Code and greatly restricted the functions to be performed by the Texas Education Agency and the UIL.

The changes made Texas an equal access state. The law now requires the public schools to allow all students that reside within the schools boundary equal access to all activities.

The Senate also made amendments that expressly regulate the UIL and invalidated certain UIL rules limiting student eligibility for competitions by providing that UIL rules would only apply to a student enrolled in the public school. The UIL no longer has the authority to determine the eligibility of Charter/Home/Private school students.

All students enrolled in the public school must abide by UIL eligibility rules even if the activity is not a UIL event. REF: eligibility rules for TEMA - http://www.tmea.org/programs/all-state/eligibility

Charter/Home/Private school students may now participate in all public school extra-curricular activities.
