Bill Summary
To permit students to use participation in interscholastic athletics to count as credit toward satisfying the physical education requirement of the high school graduation requirements.
AI Summary
This bill, effective July 1, 2026, amends a Connecticut statute concerning high school graduation requirements by allowing students to fulfill their physical education credit by participating in interscholastic athletic programs, which are organized sports competitions between schools. The bill also retains an existing provision that allows students to be excused from the physical education requirement if a medical professional, such as a physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse, certifies that participation is medically inadvisable due to the student's physical condition, with the understanding that the credit can be made up through an elective course.
