2005 California Education Code Sections 49020-49023 Article 6. Athletic Programs

49020.  It is the intent of the Legislature that opportunities for
participation in interschool athletic programs in public high schools
of the state be provided on as equal a basis as is practicable to
male and female students.  The costs of providing these equal
opportunities may vary according to the type of sports contained
within the respective male and female athletic programs.  Additional
sources of revenue should be determined to provide for these equal
opportunity programs.
49021.  It is the intent of the Legislature that opportunities for
participation in athletics be provided on an equitable basis to all
students.
   It is the further intent of the Legislature that females be given
the same opportunity to participate in athletics and compete with
other females in individual and team sports as is available to males
who compete with other males in individual and team sports.
49022.  Insofar as practicable, in apportioning public funds school
district governing boards shall apportion amounts available for
athletics to ensure that equitable amounts will be allocated for all
students, except that allowances may be made for differences in the
costs of various athletic programs.
49023.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no public funds
shall be used in connection with athletic programs conducted under
the auspices of a school district governing board or any student
organization within the district, which do not provide facilities and
opportunities for participation by both sexes on an equitable basis.
  Facilities and opportunities for participation include, but are not
limited to, equipment and supplies, scheduling of games and practice
time, compensation for coaches, travel arrangements, per diem,
locker rooms, and medical services.
