It's not "home instruction"...it's an out-of-school alternative physical education program. Here's the citations:

CR135.4(c)(2) Required Instruction.
(ii) Secondary instructional program-grades 7 through 12. All secondary pupils shall have the opportunity for
regular physical education, but not less than three times per week in one semester and two times per week in the other semester, taught by a certified physical education teacher, and all such pupils shall participate in the physical education program either:
(a)...
(b)...
(c)...
(d) for pupils in grades 10 through 12 only, a comparable time each semester in out-of-school activities approved by the physical education staff and the school administration

And...
CR135.4(c)(4)Personnel.
(ii) When students participate in out-of-school activities as part of alternative programs, such activities may be
taught by non-certified personnel, provided they have appropriate experience and are so approved by the board of education.

The fact that the "instructor" must be approved by the BoE...indicates it must be a class of some sort and not just working out on their own. Also, since schools are the only ones who can assign credit (see below) there must be communication between the physical education staff and the "instructor" to ensure the student attends and completes the course and a grade can be assigned. And finally, all students must be held to the commencement level of the learning standards for physical education (see PE web page - Learning Standards).

From the Home Instruction Q&A's:
23. Does a home-instructed student earn high school credits for completing the course work specified in the IHIP?
Credit is given only by schools.


Mission Statements and Mapping:

Primary Mission:
The mission of physical education at Maryvale Primary is to provide a foundation for all students to learn basic movement patterns and sustain regular, lifelong physical activity as a foundation for a healthy, productive, and fulfilling life in a positive and caring learning environment.

3-5 Mission:
The goal of physical education is to provide students with a series of experiences that will give them a foundation of a lifetime of healthy pursuits. Physical education includes a sequence of units that offer a wide range of experiences with games, sports, activities that address fitness needs, developmental processes and personal interests. These units and goals follow the standards set forth by New York State and national departments of education. The ultimate goal is to have each student feel confident and competent in pursuing activity through life.
