HB 2099 -- Physical Education Classes

Sponsor:  Baker (25)

This bill specifies, beginning with the 2007-08 school year, that
physical education classes be required at each grade level, with
at least 20 minutes of movement per class period.  For each
student for whom it is appropriate, the school must provide
opportunities to learn health self-assessment and must encourage
physical self-improvement and sustaining healthy fitness levels,
including the creation of a web site where a student can record
his or her progress.  Schools must create community and business
partnerships to provide resources to reward schools for improved
health status; and each year the Commissioner of Education will
recognize students, schools, and school districts achieving
improvement in fitness.
