Bill > S05014

This bill requires instruction in physical education in certain elementary and secondary schools, including for students with disabling conditions and those in alternative education programs. It amends the Education Law to mandate that the Board of Regents establish rules for physical education, including requiring daily physical education for a minimum of 150 minutes per week in elementary and secondary schools in cities with a population of one million or more, with a two-year phase-in period for elementary schools. The bill recognizes the importance of physical activity and education in addressing child obesity and promoting academic success.
