Williamson County board says it won't allow homeschoolers to take part in interscholastic sports

From The Nashville Tennessean: The Williamson County (Tenn.) School Board has decided that it will not allow home-schooled students to participate in interscholastic sports on high school teams. In 2010, the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association changed its bylaws to allow home-schooled students to participate in public school sports if they met certain eligibility requirements. Since then, Metro Nashville Public Schools and Sumner County Schools moved to allow home-schooled students to play for what would be their zoned school. Rutherford County Schools and Robertson County Schools decided against it.
