Tennessee HB0971 allows high school students to earn physical education credit through community service yardwork.
Tennessee HB0971 amends the state's education code to allow local education agencies and public charter schools to create physical education through community service programs. Students in grades nine through twelve can earn one-half credit in physical education by completing yardwork projects for older persons and persons with disabilities. The program requires parental consent, supervision, and attendance tracking. Community organizations partnering with schools assume liability for students during off-campus service.
