The Committee of the Full Board of the State Board of Education, on Thursday, March 26, 2009, passed out of committee Option 2 to the 4X4 plan. Option 2 would expand the number of allowed state physical education (PE) credits to four. Below is a timeline for the possible implementation of the process. Many issues concerning graduation plans are being reviewed by the 81st legislative session, and any new state law will determine the future of Option 2. Many thanks to Robert Young and Sheri Stice, representing the Texas High School Athletic Directors Association, for giving professional public testimony for the addition of four credits for four years of participation in athletics. The Texas Girls Coaches Association, the Texas High School Coaches Association, and the Texas High School Athletic Directors Association, through the support of their members, have cleared a major obstacle with the selection of Option 2, but there is much work to be done in the future on the 4X4 Graduation Plan concerning athletics.
