Urgent! Arizona Senate Bill 1400

A recent bill, SB 1400, has been proposed that could drastically affect Physical Education and Fine Arts. This bill essentially allows students to get credit for certain classes by participating in them beyond the school day. For example, students could earn credit in Fine Arts by taking private music lessons after school. Students could also earn Physical Education credit for being part of an organized sports team. This could impact how many Fine Arts and Physical Education classes are provided within our schools, and could potentially decrease number of teaching positions for those classes. Below is an exert from SB 1400.

Please see the following link to learn more about SB 1400.
