Ally Seifried has introduced Senate Bill 388, which would allow these students to participate in interscholastic activities in their resident districts. Audra Plummer, head of Oklahoma Virtual Charter Academy, supports the bill, emphasizing its role in fostering personal growth and scholarship opportunities. Lawmakers will consider the proposal when the legislative session resumes on February 3.
