The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
identifies school health and physical education
as part of a student's "well-rounded education,"
along with other subjects such as art, music, civics, science and more.
This new federal education legislation provides increased access
to funds for health and PE programs (including professional development)
and allows states and school districts to
set their own priorities for funding and accountability.
