Starting in the 2026–2027 school year, eligible children may take part in activities offered by the Wyoming district where they live.

The law provides that eligible children may take part in activities offered by their home district, including school activities sanctioned by Wyoming’s high school activities association.
Argument forEligible children could join activities in their home district even if they are not full-time students there.
Argument againstMore eligible children taking part could make it harder for districts to manage access to activities they offer.
More detail
School districts must permit eligible children to take part in activities they offer. This applies to school-age children who live in the district and are not enrolled full time in that same district. It includes activities sanctioned by the Wyoming High School Activities Association.

The act takes effect July 1, 2026.
