fitness program; school report cards

HB 2395 establishes a voluntary Arizona school fitness program under the Department of Education, allowing public schools to participate in nationally recognized physical fitness tests. Schools that choose to join the program can add a "fitness program designation" to their existing school report cards, which are required by law. The Department of Education will develop guidelines, best practices, and resources to support schools participating in the program. This bill does not require schools to participate or change current fitness standards, only offering a voluntary recognition option for those that opt in.
