Pooka: The district defines a chronic health condition as anything that may cause the student to miss 5 or more school days.
My daughter is on an accelerated school schedule. She's a sophomore taking junior classes. She'll be graduating a year early if all goes as planned. This would leave her with this year for PE, which is out of the question, and next year. Since school out here starts so darned early, she'd still be in the healing year for the first semester. That would leave the second semester of next year in which she could take PE. Only 1 semester of PE is required in our state.
Her counselor said if we could obtain a note from her surgeon permanently excusing her from PE that the school would abide by it. I don't think it's going to be a problem obtaining the note. But, I won't know for sure that she'll get the exemption until after I speak with her surgeon at the end of this month.
