Our goal is to change the way the P.E. system is now. We want to allow sports to count as a P.E. credit, so the athletes that commit their time to sports don't have to worry about taking P.E. as a class as well, so that it will also free up a class period to be able to get the credits needed to graduate. What we are trying to do is have one season of a sport qualify as half a Physical Education Credit. By signing this petition you can help further the cause.

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the reach this has taken on. This really belongs to all of you who saw the sense in this idea and decided to back it.

I think it is a great idea. Freeing up the class period for other required credits would definitely benefit many students.
That would be amazing! I hate coming to after school sports tired and dehydrated from in-school P.E.
That is how my high school ran PE. I played soccer and got credit for a semester. during the PE time I had study hall so I could get my homework done and still go to games. There was a rule that if you skipped or messed around in study hall they could put you right back in PE, so you had to behave :)
When I was in high school, I ran cross country and track, and I earned PE credit for both of those, although I was required to take one (instead of two) years of PE. The one year of PE was worthwhile, but it was nice to earn the credits from my sports, too.
This seems to make a lot of sense. It would also free up some potential scheduling for elective classes and give dedicated athletes a chance to strike a better balance between what they are doing for their sports and school work.
I really hope this goes through, it would be AMAZING!!
This is a great idea and I hope your petition goes well!

My son is exhausted from playing varsity football and still having to run laps in gym class during the day. This would help him so much with his schedule.
