Physical education curriculum; require full implementation in all K-12 schools.

HB 1236 requires all Mississippi K-12 public schools to fully implement a physical education curriculum aligned with the state’s adopted framework. It mandates 150 minutes per week of physical activity for grades K-8 and a half-credit physical education requirement (including CPR/AED training) for grades 9-12. Schools failing to comply risk having their state physical education funding reduced proportionally to per-pupil spending. The bill aims to address low student physical activity rates and health disparities by standardizing PE requirements across all public schools.
