## Resource

A new Kansas audit reveals a dramatic 154% surge in virtual and private school students joining public school activities since a 2023 law opened the door—now over 1,300 students participate, with 1,500+ applications last year. Critics, including KSHSAA leaders and superintendents, worry it dilutes school spirit and community. The audit also found most districts comply, though some need updated policies—and participation extends beyond sports to clubs like FFA.
