Permanent PE Exemption Request – Parent Action Required

California Education Code §51222) requires that students in grade 7-12 take 4 years of physical education. Los Angeles Unified School District has introduced a new process for permanent Physical Education (PE) exemption for eligible students.

If your student qualifies for a Physical Education Exemption, a Parent/Legal Guardian/Educational Rights Holder must request exemption.  A form has been sent with your student and is also available to download for you to access.
