| SD | Signed into law 02/2003 | P-12 | Permits home school students to participate in high school interscholastic activities. If the school board or governing body of an accredited school approves, a student receiving alternative (home) instruction is eligible to participate in any interscholastic activity sponsored by the South Dakota High School Activities Association. Nothing in this section confers any vested right in any student wishing to participate in any interscholastic activity to be selected for competition in such activity. However, any accredited school student who leaves an accredited program during the course of the school year for any reason and enters an alternative instruction program is ineligible for participation in interscholastic activities for one year beginning on the date in which the student enters the alternative program.
