school week of moderate to vigorous physical activity.

special education services under the TEC, Chapter 29, Subchapter A;
(ii) the committee established for the student under
Section 504, Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 USC, §794) if the

of 1973; or
(iii) a committee established by the school district
of persons with appropriate knowledge regarding the student if each
of the committees described by clauses (i) and (ii) of this subparagraph
is inapplicable. This committee shall follow the same procedures required
of an ARD or a Section 504 committee.

program not provided by the school district in which the student is
enrolled. The district must apply to the commissioner of education
for approval of such programs, which may be substituted for state
graduation credit in fine arts. Approval may be granted if the fine
arts program provides instruction in the essential knowledge and skills
identified for a fine arts course as defined by Chapter 117, Subchapter
C, of this title (relating to High School).
(c) Elective courses--five credits. The credits must
be selected from the list of courses specified in §74.11(g),
(h), or (i) of this title (relating to High School Graduation Requirements)
or from a locally developed course or activity developed pursuant
to the TEC, §28.002(g-1), for which a student may receive credit
and that does not satisfy a specific course requirement.
