25. SB 929 3rd Reading

Passage; April 25, 2013; Journal Page 1224: 21 Yeas, 7 Nays

YCT Yea. SB 929 would have allowed homeschool students to compete in UIL competitions. YCT supports diversification of opportunity in education and believes that ending the public school monopoly on academic and sports competition is a positive step towards allowing greater access and greater options for all students. Homeschool students should not be denied the benefits that come with participating in athletic and academic competitions that were set up for the benefit of all Texas school-age students.
