At MIHS the district has been reviewing physical education programming in the building, during summer school, and the option students have of receiving physical education credit for participating in after school athletics.
At IMS the district has been reviewing the physical education waiver system, which allows students to pursue elective offerings at the school.
In the review of these programs the district is looking at the implications of changes on students earning credits to satisfy graduation requirements.
