Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires a high school pupil to earn 1.5 credits in physical
education in order to be eligible for a high school diploma. This bill authorizes a
school board to grant a pupil credit in physical education for participating in an
extracurricular sport if the sport is sanctioned by the Wisconsin Interscholastic
Athletic Association and the pupil earns an additional 1.5 credits in English, social
studies, mathematics, science, health education, vocational education, foreign
languages, or fine arts.
