SD lawmakers kill bill on home-school access to activities

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A South Dakota legislative committee has voted 10-5 to kill a bill that would have allowed home-schooled children to participate in public school activities without school board approval.

The Argus Leader of Sioux Falls reports (http://argusne.ws/2lgCnlX ) that some school officials worry the bill's wording could open loopholes for students who don't meet the state's eligibility rules.
