Athletics and Physical Education

A student has the right to be a part of physical education (gym class) or school sports teams. A school cannot keep a student from playing because she is pregnant, parenting, or has had an abortion. A student may sit out from activities if her doctor decides she should not be active because of a medical condition. If the student is healthy and able to participate, she is allowed to be a part of all school activities like varsity soccer, intramural basketball, and dance team.

If you are pregnant and your school is not allowing you to participate in athletics and physical education, you can call the Jane's Due Process legal hotline at 1-866-www-jane or 1-866-999-5263 for assistance.
