This bill mandates that starting in the 2025-2026 school year, all school districts in Oklahoma must conduct an annual fitness assessment for students in grades three through twelve. The assessments will be administered by trained personnel and will include various methods to evaluate student physical fitness based on standards set by the State Board of Education. The bill also provides exemptions for students with disabilities or other conditions that warrant it. The State Department of Education is tasked with adopting a standardized assessment instrument that includes essential health factors such as aerobic capacity, body composition, and muscular strength, while ensuring that the assessment results do not include personally identifiable information.

Additionally, the bill requires school districts to report the results of these assessments to the State Board of Education and the State Department of Health, while also providing parents or guardians with clear and understandable results for their children. The State Department of Education will analyze the performance results to identify correlations with factors like student obesity and academic achievement, and may contract with external entities for this analysis. An annual report will be submitted to the Governor, who may establish recognition programs for districts that show improvement in their fitness assessments. The bill emphasizes the importance of physical fitness in schools and aims to enhance health and wellness programs across the state.
