By default, all students enrolled in an SBAE course will be FFA members and have full access to the FFA opportunities. Guidance is being written to support state association management of opt-out requests of FFA membership as an integral part of agricultural education. Students that do opt-out via their state approved process are then opted-out of local, district/region, state, and national FFA membership. There is no avenue to opt-out of national FFA membership only.
