Pupil instruction: adopted course of study: physical education.

Existing law prescribes the adopted course of study for grades 7 to 12, inclusive. That course of study is required to include English, social sciences, world language, physical education, science, mathematics, visual and performing arts, applied arts, career technical education, automobile driver education, and other studies that the governing board may prescribe. The physical education component of that course of study is required to provide an emphasis on physical activities that are conducive to health and to vigor of body and mind, as provided. This bill would authorize the instruction in the physical education area of study to include information on the physical and mental dangers associated with the use of opioids, such as fentanyl, steroids, and other harmful addictive drugs.
