Summary

The bill requires the State Board of Education to change the graduation credit rules by September 30, 2026, allowing students to receive up to a half‑unit of physical‑education credit for taking part in school‑sanctioned varsity athletics. Schools must document how each sport aligns with state PE standards, and credit is limited to a quarter‑unit per sport each year. This expands credit options for students while keeping the focus on curriculum alignment.
