SB 1979 requires all Tennessee public schools and charter schools to administer the Presidential Fitness Test annually to assess students' strength, endurance, and flexibility. The bill mandates that schools provide accommodations for students with IEPs or 504 plans, prohibits using test results for grading, and requires the state education department to report participation and award data by grade level and disability status. Schools must notify students and families 30 days before testing begins, following guidelines from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. This law directly affects every K-12 student in Tennessee public schools and their educational institutions.
