The purpose of this petition is for The General Assembley of Maryland to pass the bill (House Bill 500) into law authorizing schools to allow students in Home Instruction programs to participate in extracurricular activities. The extracurricular activity includes interscholastic athletics, music, drama programs, student organizations, or other programs sponsored by a school outside of regular school hours.  (Please also call your delegate to voice your opinion. You can find the phone number at www.mdelect.net , put your address in the search field and click find). Thank you for your support!!

My homeschooled daughter has been wanting to play soccer for years. It is unfair that she pays taxes but cant use the fields at the local high school.

These kids are missing out on so much social interaction. It would be great to see them on the field with the other students.

Just let them play! Kids are kids and sports should be open to everyone in the district regardless of where they learn math.

ABOUT TIME. Why should my tax dollars pay for these programs if they exclude half the neighborhood? Ridiculous.
