PE Waiver
 

Student-athletes are eligible to apply for a waiver of one-half credit in physical education. Students who meet the criteria for the waiver will not be required to complete two semesters of physical education; they must complete only one semester. The definition of an “athlete” is a student who participates in a sport recognized by the Colorado High School Athletic Association for an entire season at the varsity or sub-varsity level. eSports are not included in this definition. No credit toward graduation will be awarded for the sport participation. Granting of a waiver will result from completion of this process:

 

1. Submission of a request for waiver of physical education credit requirement by the student and the student's parents or guardian.
2. Submission of certification that the student-athlete completed a season of participation in a CHSAA recognized sport. Participation on a high school sports team must be at the varsity or sub-varsity level.
3. Presentation of a four year high school academic plan that is academically enhanced by a waiver of physical education credit. This plan may first be presented in the fall semester of the student's sophomore year and should be presented no later than the fourth quarter of the student's junior year.
4. Review of the four year educational plan by a committee that includes the student's counselor and a high school administrator.
5. Consensus agreement by the committee that the waiver of physical education requirements will enhance the student's academic plan.
6. The committee may revoke an approved waiver for any student whose academic plan is substantially changed to reflect a decreased emphasis on academics.
