COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN: Standing Committee on Elementary and Secondary Education
Currently, school districts must ensure that elementary school students participate in an average of 40 minutes of physical activity a day.
Beginning in the 2027-2028 school year, this bill requires schools to ensure that all students in grades K-12 participate in physical activity for a certain length of time each day, as specified in the bill.
The bill defines the terms and specifies the use of bilateral coordination, bone-strengthening activities, and muscle- strengthening activities.
This bill creates an allowance of 10 minutes per day for any one course, subject, or class that a school district may elect to designate a time required for physical activity. Each school district and charter school governing board is to adopt a written policy for daily physical activity of students.
