Pennsylvania SB1066 mandates student fitness assessments in schools starting in 2026-2027.

Pennsylvania SB1066 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require school districts, charter schools, and cyber charter schools to administer student fitness assessments starting in the 2026-2027 school year. The assessments must align with the national physical fitness testing program, such as the Presidential Fitness Test, and be conducted within health, safety, and physical education programs.
