Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would allow high school students in Kentucky to count participation in physically demanding interscholastic athletics toward their physical education graduation requirement. Local school boards would have the authority to determine which sports or similar activities qualify. This gives schools more flexibility in how students can meet their PE credit requirement. Who it may affect: high school students who participate in school sports, and local school board members who would set the qualifying criteria.
