Sports and activities at the public school: a homeschooled child who lives in a public school's attendance area may try out for that school's interscholastic activities in the same manner as enrolled students, under the same rules on registration, age, fees, insurance, physicals and conduct. The parent or other primary instructor submits written verification of whether the student is passing each subject and making satisfactory progress. A child who was enrolled in a public, private or charter school earlier in the school year can't participate for the rest of that year (§ 15-802.01). The AIA's 2026–27 bylaws make home school students who comply with § 15-802.01 an exception to the enrollment rule (Bylaw 15.3.1.1). Because § 15-802.01 speaks of homeschooled children and an ESA student is not legally homeschooled, ESA families should ask the school and the AIA how the rule applies. ESA money can pay for public school classes and extracurricular programs (§ 15-2402, B, 4, k).
