Iowa Code Title VII. Education and Cultural Affairs [Chs. 256-305B] § 256E.13. Students receiving instruction over internet--participation in activities in district of residence

1. A student enrolled in a charter school who receives educational instruction and course content primarily over the internet may participate in any cocurricular or extracurricular activities offered to children in the student's grade or group and sponsored by the district of residence under the same conditions and requirements as the students enrolled in the district of residence.  The student may participate in not more than two cocurricular or extracurricular activities during a school year unless the resident district approves the student's participation in additional activities.  The student shall comply with the eligibility, conduct, and other requirements relating to the activity that are established by the district of residence for any student who applies to participate or who is participating in the activity.

2. If a student participates in a cocurricular or extracurricular activity in accordance with this section, the district of residence may charge the charter school up to two hundred dollars per activity, for up to two activities.  For a cocurricular activity, one semester shall equal one activity.  Extracurricular activities for which a resident district may charge up to two hundred dollars per activity for up to two activities under this section include interscholastic athletics, music, drama, and any other activity with a general fund expenditure exceeding five thousand dollars annually.  A student may participate in additional extracurricular activities at the discretion of the resident district.  The resident district may charge the student a fee for participation in such cocurricular or extracurricular activities equivalent to the fee charged to and paid in the same manner by other resident students.
