Exemption from Physical Education/Special Education

A student in grades 3-12 who is eligible for special education may be excused from physical education courses if:

  • The student’s guardian agrees that the student must utilize the time set aside for physical education to receive special education support and services.
  • The student’s individualized education program team determines that the student must utilize the time set aside for physical education to receive special education support and services.

The agreement or determination is made a part of the individualized education program. A student requiring adapted physical education will receive that service in accordance with the student’s individualized education program.
