Allow for PE classes to be optional for students who can demonstrate 5 or more weekly hours of outside physical activity
To House Education
Summary
The bill keeps mandatory physical‑education (PE) classes for all public‑school students but lets middle‑ and high‑schoolers opt out if they can show they already participate in at least five hours of sports or other physical activity each week. Students must provide a signed affidavit or similar proof, and the alternative is a supervised study‑hall period. The measure is intended to combat obesity by encouraging regular activity while giving active students flexibility.
