A 3873 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows certain public high school student-athletes to substitute study hall for physical education during their athletic seasons.

This bill allows public high school students in grades 10-12 who participate in school-sponsored sports to replace their physical education class with a study hall during their sport's athletic season. Students must get written parental approval and have their coach confirm their participation, and their athletic involvement will count toward their graduation physical education credit requirement. The bill does not affect students not in sports, younger grades, or the existing requirement for health and safety education courses. It applies starting the 2024-2025 school year.
