Bill > HB2303

This bill requires the Board of Education to update the statewide performance standards for physical education for all grade levels (K-12) to fully reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test, which is a program designed to assess and promote physical fitness in students. The bill also mandates that these updated standards must comply with any requirements from a federal executive order related to physical activity and be implemented by the 2028-2029 school year, reflecting a legislative finding that physical activity is crucial for preventing chronic diseases, improving academic and behavioral success, and fostering healthier communities, especially given concerns about students' increasingly sedentary lifestyles.
