Off-Campus PE
Fee Required. The purpose of the Off-Campus Physical Education Program is to accommodate students who are making a serious effort to develop high-level capabilities and to allow those students to be involved in a program that provides training exceeding that offered in the school district. Students interested in this program should contact his/her campus counselor for application and guidelines concerning off-campus physical education. One State credit shall be awarded for physical education for appropriate private or commercially sponsored physical activity programs conducted either on or off campus upon approval of district administration.
Such approval may be granted under the following conditions:
A. Olympic-level participation and/or competition that included a minimum of 15 hours per week of highly intensive professional, supervised training. The training facility, instructors, and the activities involved in the program must be certified by the superintendent to be of exceptional quality. Students qualifying and participating at this level may be dismissed from school for one period per day.
B. Private or commercially-sponsored physical activities that include those certified by the superintendent to be of high quality and well supervised by appropriately trained instructors. Student participation of at least 5 hours per week is required. Students qualifying and participating at this level MAY NOT be dismissed from any part of the regular day.
C. The activity must be one that McKinney ISD does not offer at the specific level requested.
The student must participate a minimum of four days during the week (Monday through Friday) plus an additional day that may fall either on the weekend or during the week. Participation must always be under the direct supervision of the instructor. No off-campus program will be allowed if located more than 25 miles from the McKinney ISD Administration Building.
