Waiver of Physical Education Requirement

Abstract:
The purpose of this regulation on graduation requirements is to provide definitions and procedures for allowing students to waive part of the physical education requirement. The policy states that one-quarter of the physical education requirement may be waived for each full season of participation in approved interscholastic or intramural athletic competition, retroactive to the beginning of time. Total credit waived will not exceed one full credit. Elective credit must be earned to replace the physical education requirement that is waived. A waiver of credit under this section does not affect the overall minimum requirement of 22 credits. An approved list of interscholastic and intramural activities is provided. Other activities must be approved by the superintendent. The definition of a 'full season of participation' is provided. The procedure for waiving the physical education requirement states that the student must complete an application form, submit it to the student's counselor, and have it approved by the principal. This waiver will then be noted on the student's transcript and be part of the permanent record. The application to waive one-quarter credit of the physical education graduation requirement is provided.
