A. Notwithstanding any other law, a child who resides within the attendance area of a school that is part of a school district and who is enrolled in a charter school shall be allowed to try out for interscholastic activities on behalf of that school that is part of that school district in the same manner as a pupil who is enrolled in that school that is part of that school district. Registration, age eligibility requirements, fees, insurance, transportation, physical condition, qualifications, responsibilities, event schedules, standards of behavior and performance policies for charter school students shall be consistent with those policies established for students enrolled in that school district. The charter school shall submit written verification that the student is both:

2. Maintaining satisfactory progress towards advancement or promotion.
B. A child who is enrolled in a charter school and who was previously enrolled in a school that is part of a school district is not eligible to participate in interscholastic activities for the remainder of the school year during which the child was enrolled in a school that is part of a school district.
C. A school district shall not contract with any private entity that supervises interscholastic activities if the private entity prohibits the participation of children enrolled in charter schools in interscholastic activities at schools that are part of school districts.
