Mandatory PE Gaining Support

A proposal to make physical education a graduation requirement gained support during a public hearing Tuesday at the State Department of Education’s Boise office. During the brief 30-minute hearing, five people testified in favor of the P.E. requirement, while nobody voiced opposition. Additionally, department officials accepted handwritten letters from 29 Heritage Community Charter School students who support P.E. Adrean Cavener, director of government affairs for the American Heart Association in Idaho, said the state’s P.E. and health teachers are firmly behind the P.E. proposal. She also said the cost of requiring P.E. would be minimal because so many districts already offer the courses/ Clark Corbin , Idaho Education News. More here.
