New Jersey S2552 allows public high school student-athletes to substitute physical education with study hall during their sport's season.

New Jersey S2552 permits public high school student-athletes to opt out of physical education during their athletic seasons, replacing it with a study hall. The student's participation in the sport will count towards their physical education requirement for graduation, and they will receive the same number of high school graduation credits as if they had completed the physical education course. This bill does not exempt students from attending health and safety education courses or affect physical education requirements for younger students or non-athlete high schoolers.
