CREDIT FLEXIBILITY

Credit Flexibility is a state-mandated initiative.  It is designed to broaden the scope of curricular options available to students, increase the depth of study available for a particular subject and tailor the learning time or conditions needed.  In these ways, students can customize aspects of their learning around more of their interests and needs.  Credit flexibility options are designed for those students who demonstrate the ability, interest, and maturity to accept personal responsibility for their learning in a selected curricular area and have the opportunity to pursue it outside of Anthony Wayne High School.  Students must contact their school counselor for program requirements.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION WAIVER

For eligible student-athletes, the PE Waiver waives the PE requirement for high school graduation. It does NOT award credit. However, it allows a student to pursue other options to earn the 0.5 credit, rather than taking two PE courses (0.25 credit each). Students are still required to meet the minimum number of credits for graduation. Students who have participated in board-approved interscholastic athletics or marching band for at least two (2) full seasons as defined in the high school handbook, while enrolled in grades 9-12, and as documented by the athletic director or principal may be excused from the high school physical education requirement. Students electing such an excuse shall complete one-half (1/2) unit of at least sixty (60) hours of instruction in another course of study which is designated by the Board as meeting the high school curriculum requirements.  Students may NOT combine one season of interscholastic athletics or marching band with one semester of a PE course.  Under Ohio state law, local boards of education may NOT add additional areas of participation beyond board-approved interscholastic athletics or marching band which may be used to excuse a student from the high school physical education requirement.  The form for the student to complete is available in the Class of...
