HB1466

Tennessee HB1466 mandates the Presidential Fitness Test for students, with accommodations for those with IEPs or Section 504 plans.

Tennessee HB1466 amends state law to require local education agencies and public charter schools to administer the Presidential Fitness Test to students annually. The test assesses students' strength, endurance, and flexibility. Students with an individualized education program (IEP) or a Section 504 plan must receive reasonable and appropriate accommodations on the test, unless participation would be unsafe. The test cannot negatively impact a student's grades. The Tennessee Department of Education must notify schools of the test's requirements at least 30 days before the school year.
