BEXLEY HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION WAIVER

In accordance with Senate Bill 311, students in grades 9-11 may be excused from the physical education (PE)

requirement for graduation by participating in District-sponsored interscholastic athletics, marching band, or

cheerleading for at least two seasons. If the physical education requirement is waived, the student will be

required to complete one half-unit, consisting of at least 60 hours of instruction, in another course of study.

Should a student become injured or not complete the season for ANY reason, he/she must find an alternate

way to satisfy his/her PE requirement. Participation in BHS athletics, marching band, or cheerleading prior to the

spring season of the 2012-2013 school year does not apply. Participation in interscholastic athletics, marching

band, and cheerleading is a privilege, and not a right. This policy shall not in any way be construed as granting

a student the right to participate in such district-sponsored activities. Board rules and policies including the

Code of Conduct continue to apply. In addition, any student participating in this policy shall be subject to any

athletic fee and/or pay-to-participate fee.

Procedure for Documenting Physical Education Course Exemptions:

1. Prior to participating in a full-season of a sport, marching band, or cheerleading and by the dates listed

below, the student should complete and turn in the PE Waiver Intent Form to the high school Guidance Office.

PE Waiver forms can be obtained in the Guidance Office or downloaded from the Counselor’s link on our

website.

2. Forms will be kept in the athletic office or band office until the seasons are completed. Forms will then be

verified by the athletic director or marching band director and given to the Guidance Office for record

keeping.

3. The guidance counselor will add the PE Waiver to the student’s official transcript.

Note: The Ohio Core Graduation Requirements mandate participation for at least two (2) full seasons of an

approved activity in order to waive the PE requirement. Participation in only one (1) full season cannot be

combined with 0.25 credits of PE to meet the PE requirement for graduation.

The following due dates apply for the PE Application Waiver form: Fall Sports - August 30th, Winter Sports-

November 30th, Spring Sports-March 30th.

Any student who has not fulfilled the PE requirement prior to the beginning of his or her senior year will be

scheduled into a PE class. Participation in an athletic team, marching band or cheerleading will not qualify for

the waiver during senior year without the approval of the administration.
