These umbrella schools are considered private schools. As the law reads now, if these private schools exceed 125 students, then the students are not allowed to play sports for their zoned public school. The new law would do away with that number. As usual, sports is big business for some of these schools, and with jobs, money, prestige, etc. on the line, greed will rear its ugly head and probably cause this bill to get sidelined. BTW-Tim Tebow was a homeschooler allowed to play ball in his zoned school. What a loss if he hadn't been able to play sports!

Somebody on the inside is pushing this bill to cover there hide though. A private school is there choice to go there, they should think of sports before they decide to go.
