The Dexter Mosely Act (Senate Bill 42) was passed by the Georgia General Assembly during the 2021 legislative session. This legislation authorizes home study students, as defined in O.C.G.A. § 20-2-690(c), in grades 6-12 to participate in extracurricular and interscholastic activities at the student’s zone public school. The DOE has information and guidance related to the Dexter Mosely Act available on the GaDOE Home Schools information page.

Please note: The Dexter Mosely Act is exclusively for Home Study/Home School students and does not apply to students enrolled in online accredited public schools such as Georgia Cyber Academy, or the Georgia Virtual School.  According to the Georgia Department of Education, a student can only be enrolled in one school at a time. Additionally, according to the Georgia High School Association, enrollment in another school would make the participant ineligible for high school athletics.

In order for home study students in grades 6-12 to participate in extracurricular and interscholastic activities at their zoned public school, all of the Student Eligibility Requirements must be met:

• The home study student must have a Declaration of Intent Form confirming he/she is officially registered in Georgia's Home Study Program. The intent MUST be on FILE with the DOE for 12 months.
• The enrolling parent/guardian must provide a copy of the home study student’s most recent annual progress report, with written verification by the home study program instructor that the student is currently receiving a passing grade in each home study program course, is maintaining satisfactory progress towards advancement, and meets the academic requirements for participation in the specified extracurricular or interscholastic activity. 
• The enrolling parent/guardian must complete the enrollment process for the Colquitt County School District.
• The home study student must enroll in and attempt to complete one qualifying course for each semester of the regular school year during any part of which the home study student participates in extracurricular and interscholastic activities. 
• The home study student must meet established age, academic, behavioral, conduct, disciplinary, residence, zoning, and other rules and requirements applicable to all students for participation in the specified E/I activity and agree to abide by the expectations and information listed in the Colquitt County Parent Information Guide and Student Code of Conduct.
• The home study student must complete the tryout process or equivalent for participation and be selected for the specified extracurricular or interscholastic activity in order to continue with enrollment.

No home study students should attend tryouts, workouts, club meetings, or practices/competitions until they are fully registered in the Colquitt County School System.

A home study student who withdraws from a public school to participate in a home study program shall be ineligible for participation in any extracurricular or interscholastic activity for 12 months from the date of the home study Declaration of Intent submission to the GaDOE.
