The Board of
Education believes that all
children, kindergarten through high school, benefit physically, socially and
mentally from a high-quality, comprehensive, and developmentally appropriate
physical education program.
The primary goal for the physical
education program is for every student to develop
the knowledge and skills for specific physical activities, to develop and
maintain a fit and healthy body, to participate in regular physical
activity, and to understand the short and long-term benefits of a physically
active and healthy lifestyle. Equally important, the physical education
program shall be designed to prepare students to make choices about lifelong
fitness through physical activity and nutrition.
No student shall be excluded from any physical
education program. Provisions
shall be made for students who require a special or adaptive physical
education program or who, because of cultural practices or observances, may
not be able to participate in vigorous exercise.
