Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Accommodations and protections for student fitness test
If a student has an IEP or a Section 504 plan, the school must provide reasonable and appropriate accommodations as the President’s Council recommends. If the student cannot safely take the test, even with an accommodation, the school does not have to give it. A student’s fitness test score cannot lower their grade in any class, including PE.
Quick report if fitness test revoked
If authorization for the Presidential Fitness Test is revoked after this law takes effect, the Department must tell each school right away in writing. Within 90 days, it must send a report to the state Senate and House education committees. For each year the test was given, the report must list enrollment by grade, how many students took the test, how many had IEPs or 504 plans and got accommodations, and how many earned the Presidential Fitness Award.
Tennessee schools must give fitness test
The law requires each local school district and public charter school to give the Presidential Fitness Test to students. The test checks strength, endurance, and flexibility. The Department of Education must send written guidance at least 30 days before the school year, with award rules that match the President’s Council. Schools may give the test in PE class or during any required physical activity period. The test is given only in school years when the Department sends the written notice.
