| | | 09900HB0825ham001 | - 3 - | LRB099 04645 NHT 46783 a |
|
| 1 | | reasons: (1) for
ongoing participation in an interscholastic
| 2 | | athletic program; (2) to enroll in academic classes which are | 3 | | required for
admission to an institution of higher learning, | 4 | | provided that failure to

However, a pupil requiring | 23 | | adapted physical education must receive that service in | 24 | | accordance with the individualized education program developed | 25 | | for the pupil. If requested, a school board is authorized to | 26 | | excuse a pupil from engaging in a physical education course if |

A school | 5 | | board may also excuse pupils in grades 9 through 12 enrolled
in | 6 | | a Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC) program sponsored by | 7 | | the school
district from engaging in physical education | 8 | | courses.
School boards which choose to exercise this authority | 9 | | shall establish a policy
