Berea City School District Physical Education (PE) Waiver

Under legislation by the Ohio General Assembly, interscholastic sports, cheerleading, and after-school marching band may be used to fulfill the requirement for the physical education requirement for graduation.

In the Berea City Schools, only athletic programs sanctioned by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, cheerleading, show choir and after-school marching band will be accepted for the PE Waiver.

High school students may request the opportunity to receive academic exemption for physical education by participating in any one of the above sanctioned activities in grades 9-11.

Students MUST successfully complete the two season(s) in which they have elected to participate by the end of his/her JUNIOR year to qualify.

In order to facilitate accurate scheduling and record keeping, we ask each student to indicate PE Waiver  (course number 350) on his/her course selection sheet annually.

Please contact your school counselor should you have any questions.
