Has anyone here recently had their high schooler take their New York State Health class requirement online? My son wanted to take it this summer online and his principal said no. I wasn't given a clear reason, just basically not allowed and something vague about state rules. However I know many kids in past years who have done this. I figure this principal wants to put a stop to that going forward. He said that if my son wanted to take an elective online that was fine. But the 1/2 credit health class is required by the state and he has to take it in school (still doesn't really explain why).
Now I find out that a kid in my son's grade spent the summer taking the health class online and had gotten permission from the same principal. This kid had no extenuating circumstances where they would need to do this. But does have a parent on the board of education. I will be calling this principal tomorrow for an explanation and to push for my son to now have the same option. Also, I just heard that a neighboring district allows it, so then it can't be a state regulation that kids can't take it online.
When this principal told me months ago that it wasn't allowed and it had something to do with state guidelines, I didn't really believe or trust him. And now I certainly don't. He must have his reasons, but I don't think he is being transparent or honest about them.
Any administrators or parents here who know of schools in New York that allow kids to take the health requirement online? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
