Tennessee SB1221 allows high school students to earn physical education credit through community service yardwork.
Tennessee SB1221 amends the state's education code to allow local education agencies and public charter schools to create physical education programs for students in grades nine through twelve. Students can earn one-half credit in physical education by completing yardwork projects for older persons and persons with disabilities in their community. The program requires parental consent, supervision of students, and documentation of yardwork hours. Schools must report annually on program outcomes and participant satisfaction.
