In accordance with local district policy, a school district may award up to four high school credits for physical education for appropriate private or commercially-sponsored physical activity programs conducted on or off campus. The district must apply to the commissioner of education for approval of such programs, which may be substituted for state graduation credit in physical education.
Texas Law requires middle school students must participate in a minimum two years of physical activity. This activity may be physical education class, athletics, cheer, dance, drill team, or color guard. In LISD, students will be required to participate in a physical activity classes in the 6th-7th grade. Students in the 6th, 7th or 8th grade can apply for Off Campus PE.
This form is to be used by the agency instructor to report attendance and pass/fail each six weeks. Form should be turned into the school counselor.
Questions about the application process or approval can be addressed to LISD Athletics Coordinator at: Candace.Mckinley@leanderisd.org
