  6. Data Collection and Analysis • Summary results will be sent from the LEA to each year • Analysis at the state level will be conducted to see what correlation exists with: 1) student academic achievement 2) attendance 3) obesity 4) disciplinary problems 5) the school meal program

  7. LEA Policy and Procedure • Student needing improvement in their fitness level will be referred to resources including CATCH • Information will be provided in the student handbook and district web-site and will include information about the SHAC • Local policy in regard to student access to vending machines • Local policy in regard to penalties for tobacco use • Notice to parents in regard to student fitness results

Personnel and Equipment Needs • PE teachers are scheduled for fitness assessment training at UTB on September 18th or 19th • School nurses will assess student body composition • The state mandate was not funded nor in the LEA budget • Non-competitive grant monies are available for grades 6-8 • UTB may be interested in a MOU – upper level UTB students could help with campus student assessment

  9. Reminders • The moderate and vigorous activity daily requirement is not negotiable • The fitness assessment for students is not negotiable • The need for life-time fitness for our students is written in the TEKS; implementation is not negotiable • Senate Bill 530 raises accountability for instruction that has been provided for years – the required change for fitness assessment will highlight the importance of lifetime fitness and physical education
