This bill proposes to establish the Arizona School Fitness Program within the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) to recognize public schools that participate in a nationally recognized physical fitness test or event. The ADE would be responsible for developing guidelines and identifying best practices and resources for schools involved in the program.

Additionally, the bill allows schools that choose to participate in the program to include the Arizona School Fitness Program designation in their school report cards, as mandated by current law under section 15-746. This insertion aims to enhance the visibility of schools' commitment to physical fitness and promote participation in fitness initiatives. The current statutes remain unchanged, with the new provisions being added to enhance the existing framework.
