Local Education Agencies - As enacted, requires each LEA and public charter school to administer the Presidential Fitness Test to students to assess their strength, endurance, and flexibility. - Amends TCA Title 49 and Title 68.
HB 1466 requires all Tennessee public schools and charter schools to administer the Presidential Fitness Test annually to assess students' strength, endurance, and flexibility. The test, based on a 2025 federal executive order, must be given without affecting students' grades, and schools must provide reasonable accommodations for students with IEPs or 504 plans. The state education department must notify schools 30 days before testing begins and report participation and results to lawmakers if the test is later revoked. This bill directly affects every K-12 student in Tennessee's public schools and their school districts.
