 The only time a student should be allowed non- participation in an
assessment and the corresponding score be left blank is when the non
participation aligns to local school system practice, policy and/or
procedure as it relates to participation in physical education class and
physical activity. (Example: A local system requires a note from a physician
for a student to be exempted from strenuous activities. The same should
be in place before permitting a student to miss a portion of the FG
assessment)
 All safety practices and procedures should be included when considering
student participation.
