| (a) School districts and open-enrollment charter schools
must develop processes to increase awareness of opportunities available
to students who are homeless or in substitute care to participate
in extracurricular programs, summer programs, credit transfer services,
electronic courses, and after-school tutoring programs.
(b) School districts and open-enrollment charter schools
must identify and remove barriers, whenever possible, to participation
by students who are homeless or in substitute care in extracurricular
programs, summer programs, credit transfer services, electronic courses,
and after-school tutoring programs.
(c) Appropriate school district or open-enrollment
charter school staff must facilitate the process to complete and submit
a University Interscholastic League waiver of residence application
form for a student who is homeless and plans to participate in varsity
athletics. In compliance with Texas Education Code, §25.001(f),
a durational residence requirement may not be used to prohibit a student
in substitute care from fully participating in any activity sponsored
by the school district.
