Physical Education Waiver Form

Based upon Section 3313.603 of the Ohio Revised Code, Letter L, students in the Canton Local School District in grades 9-12 who successfully complete two full seasons of interscholastic athletics, marching band, or cheerleading may be excused from the high school physical education graduation requirement. The “two full season” requirement may be completed within a single school year. Successful completion of a season, in the case of interscholastic athletics, means that a student is both a member of the team or group and is eligible for end of season awards/recognition. Formal starting dates for interscholastic athletics are determined by the OHSAA. Starting dates for marching band and cheerleading will be determined by the respective advisors.

In order for students to receive a waiver for physical education credit, the student must take this form to the coach/advisor and he/she must sign the attached form at the completion of the season (students are required to participate in 2 seasons in order to receive the PE waiver, so two forms are required to receive the PE waiver).

NOTE: *Students do not receive physical education credit when they turn in two physical education waiver forms. They are simply being exempted from the graduation requirement of the credit. Those students excused from the high school physical education graduation requirement are still required to meet all other graduation requirements established by the Canton Local School District. * Participation in only one (1) full season cannot be combined with 0.25 credits of PE to meet the PE requirements for graduation. *This exemption may not transfer should a student transfer to a different school district with different policies.

It is the responsibility of the student to turn in the form to the Student Services Department. THIS WILL NOT BE DONE AUTOMATICALLY FOR THE STUDENT. Canton Local Physical Education Waiver
