Public Hearing on Phy. Ed. Bill Tomorrow
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | January 28, 2014
The Assembly Committee on Children and Families will hold a public hearing tomorrow on Assembly Bill 609, relating to physical education in the public schools. AB 609 requires that every school district operating grades kindergarten to 5 ensure that pupils in those grades participate in physical education for at least 30 minutes each day on which school is held.
The SAA is planning to testify in opposition to the bill. We believe that this well-intended bill is an unfunded state mandate that would require school districts to take time and money away from their primary objective — educating students to higher levels of academic achievement.
