HB 1215 -- Physical Education Classes in Primary Grades

Sponsor:  Baker (25)

Beginning in the 2008-2009 school year, this bill establishes
requirements for physical education classes for students in
kindergarten through fifth grade.  The amount of physical
activity and the kinds of health self-assessment skills students
will learn are specified.  School districts will use business and
community partnerships to provide resources to reward schools for
improved health; and each year the Commissioner of Education will
recognize students, schools, and districts that have achieved
improved fitness.
