    4  and insert:
    5         Section 1. Section 1006.15, Florida Statutes, is amended to
    6  read:
    7         1006.15 Student standards for participation in
    8  interscholastic and intrascholastic extracurricular student
    9  activities; regulation.—
   10         (1) SHORT TITLE.—This section may be cited as the “Craig
   11  Dickinson Act.”
   12         (2) DETERMINATION.—Interscholastic extracurricular student
   13  activities are an important complement to the academic
   14  curriculum. Participation in a comprehensive extracurricular and
   15  academic program contributes to student development of the
   16  social and intellectual skills necessary to become a well
   17  rounded adult. When determining whether a school offers an
   18  activity or sport, the activity or sport must be in the same
   19  designation required by s. 1006.205(3)(a) As used in this
   20  section, the term “extracurricular” means any school-authorized
   21  or education-related activity occurring during or outside the
   22  regular instructional school day.
   23         (3) DEFINITIONS.—As used in this section and in s. 1006.20,
   24  the term:
   25         (a)Eligible student” includes home education students,
   26  charter school students, private school students, Florida
   27  Virtual School students, alternative school students, and
   28  traditional public school students who wish to participate in an
   29  interscholastic or intrascholastic extracurricular activity.
   30         (b)1.(3)(a) As used in this section and s. 1006.20, the
   31  term “Eligible to participate” includes, but is not limited to,
   32  a student participating in:
   33         a. Tryouts.,
   34         b. Off-season conditioning.,
   35         c. Summer workouts.,
   36         d. Preseason conditioning.,
   37         e. In-season practice.,
   38         f.or Contests.
   39         2. The term does not mean that a student must be placed on
   40  any specific team for interscholastic or intrascholastic
   41  extracurricular activities. To be eligible to participate in
   42  interscholastic extracurricular student activities, a student
   43  must:
   44         a.1. Maintain a grade point average of 2.0 or above on a
   45  4.0 scale, or its equivalent, in the previous semester or a
   46  cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above on a 4.0 scale,
   47  or its equivalent, in the courses required by s. 1002.3105(5) or
   48  s. 1003.4282.
   49         b.2. Execute and fulfill the requirements of an academic
   50  performance contract between the student, the district school
   51  board, the appropriate governing association, and the student’s
   52  parents, if the student’s cumulative grade point average falls
   53  below 2.0, or its equivalent, on a 4.0 scale in the courses
   54  required by s. 1002.3105(5) or s. 1003.4282. At a minimum, the
   55  contract must require that the student attend summer school, or
   56  its graded equivalent, between grades 9 and 10 or grades 10 and
   57  11, as necessary.
   58         c.3. Have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above

   63  appropriate dress and other codes of student conduct policies

   65  found to have committed, a felony or a delinquent act that would
   66  have been a felony if committed by an adult, regardless of
   67  whether adjudication is withheld, the student’s participation in
   68  interscholastic extracurricular activities is contingent upon
   69  established and published district school board policy.
   70         3.(b) Any student who is exempt from attending a full
   71  school day based on rules adopted by the district school board
   72  for double session schools or programs, experimental schools, or
   73  schools operating under emergency conditions must maintain the
   74  grade point average required by this section and pass each class
   75  for which he or she is enrolled.

   77  education-related activity occurring during or outside the
   78  regular instructional school day.

  296  school boards for participants in extracurricular activities

  312  conduct of the program established by the FHSAA’s board of
  313  directors and the district school board or member private

  315  for each sport by which the private school student’s parents
  316  must register with the member school in writing their intent for
  317  their child to participate at that school in the sport.
  318         (b) The parents of a private school student participating
  319  in a member school sport under this subsection are responsible
  320  for transporting their child to and from the member school at
  321  which the student participates. The private school the student
  322  attends, the member school at which the student participates in
  323  a sport, the district school board, and the FHSAA are exempt
  324  from civil liability arising from any injury that occurs to the
  325  student during such transportation.
  326         (c) For each academic year, a private school student may
  327  only participate at the member school in which the student is
