Why this petition matters
Started by Grace Devaux
- Stats show that 56% of students in IL participate in a travel sport
- Illinois has cut PE requirements, reducing the weekly requirement from 5 days to 3 days a week
- Student athletes dedicate about 10–12 hours per week to athletics - this is more than 3 times the PE time requirement in IL.
- Instead of these athletes participating in unproductive gym classes, they should be allowed a gym exempt to take an additional academic class
