The Senate Bill would allow private, school students to play in public sports teams at the Winston-Salem Journal High School

If the bill passes, a student from a private school or home school would have the right to play in the public school closest to their residence, or at the nearest public school that offers sports.

For example, students in the Golgotha ​​Day School will be able to participate in the following sports in public schools: flight hockey, football, football for girls, football for boys and girls indoors, boys and girls Lacro and girls fighting.

Forsyth’s home teachers do not offer hockey in field, football, flag -football girls, boys and girls indoors, boys and girls Lacro or boys and girls wrestling. Students in the program will be able to play these sports in public schools.

Students will be “subject to the conditions applicable to a regularly enrolled member of the students of this high school,” the bill said.

Public school districts will be able to charge the parents or guardians of the student a fee for participation.

The main sponsor of the Senate Bill 48, entitled “Access to Sports and Extracurricular Boxes for all,” is Senator Ralph Hiss, R-Mitchell, with Senator Amy Gali, R-Lamance, co-sponsor.

The same legislation was included in the Senate Bill 653 by the same sponsors in April 2023. This bill was laid in the Senate and Operations Committee of the goalkeeper, where he did not act during the rest of the sessions of 2023 and 2024.

Neither the NC High School Sports Association nor HISE can be immediately reached for comment on the bill.

The retreat to the SB48 can come from students in public schools and their parents, concerned that private or home students can take up a place in the team.

It was one of the main problems of Republican legislators who sponsored bills in 2023 and 2024, which banned transgender women from playing women’s sports at the public level of secondary and secondary schools.

The legislature approved in September the Senate Bill 452, which the then government. Roy Cooper allowed to become a law without his signature on October 3.

The SB452 requires the NCHSAA and NC public instructions that “all students participating in Interholastic Athletics meet the requirements for biological participation.”

According to SB452, the requirements for biological participation are defined as “the student’s gender is recognized only on the student’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”

This means that transsexual female athletes are forbidden to participate in women’s sports at middle and high school levels.

In the meantime, the law eliminates all restrictions on women who play any men’s sport, such as baseball or football.

During the debate in 2023, for BI 574 of the Chamber, several Democrats from the Chamber quoted the law that would affect only one transgender athlete during the school year 2022-23.
