House Engrossed

Overview

Establishes the Arizona School Fitness Program (Program) in the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) to recognize public schools participating in a nationally recognized physical fitness test or event.

History

On July 31, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order (EO) that reestablished the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition (Council) and the Presidential Fitness Test. The EO details the functions of the Council, which include developing strategies for reestablishing the Presidential Fitness Test and for promoting presidential challenges and school-based programs that reward excellence in physical education. The Secretaries of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Education are tasked with administering the Presidential Fitness Test (EO 2025-14327).

The minimum course of study requirements for students in common school grades require students to demonstrate competency in specified subject areas, including health/physical education (A.A.C. R7-2-301).

Each school must annually distribute a report card to parents of enrolled students. ADE is tasked with developing a standardized format for the report card that includes statutorily prescribed information, such as a description of the school's regular, magnet and special instructional programs and current academic goals (A.R.S. § 15-746).

Provisions

1.   Creates the Program in ADE to recognize public schools that elect to participate in a nationally recognized physical test or event.

2.   Requires ADE to develop guidelines and identify best practices and resources for schools participating in the Program.

3.   Authorizes a school participating in the Program to include the Program designation in its school report card.
