The Texas Education Agency (TEA) authorizes school districts to award physical education credit for students participating in Lamar CISD approved appropriate, privately or commercially sponsored physical activity programs if certain guidelines are met.
The purpose of the program is to accommodate students who wish to participate in special and/or accelerated physical education activities that go above and beyond those normally scheduled in the school district. This will exclude the student from participating in any UIL extracurricular athletic activity.
There are two Off Campus P.E. (OCPE) programs available at Lamar CISD. See below for additional details.
A Physical Education credit of 0.5 per semester is granted to students participating in an OCPE program that is in total compliance with all guidelines and requirements. OCPE daily activities, program quality and qualifications of instructors are not controlled by Lamar CISD. The submission deadline is the end of the first week of the semester for which a waiver is being requested.
Please contact the Lamar CISD Athletics Department at (832) 223-0147 if you need additional information.
