Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the High School State Tournaments, Competitions, and Fairness Act. Provides that the Act applies to competitions run by any person, corporation, organization, or association in this State purporting to award a State championship, State title, or the like and involving the publicly funded high schools of this State. In competitions, prohibits distinctions between schools based on race, religion, creed, or nation of origin. Prohibits barring parochial, private, charter, and magnet schools from competition or placing them at a competitive disadvantage. Provides that no publicly funded high school may participate in any State tournament or State title competition if the organizer seeks by use of a multiplier or like device to move any school that has selective enrollment based upon entrance exam scores into a higher class. Allows a tournament organizer to organize classes based on the actual number of students attending a school.
