School curriculum; require students to receive additional instruction in healthy living.

HB 192 requires Mississippi public schools to provide 20 hours annually of "healthy living" instruction for grades 9-12, focusing on nutrition, exercise, and behavior choices. This includes mandatory CPR/AED training using approved programs (like American Heart Association materials) starting with the 2015-16 ninth-grade class. Schools must adopt wellness plans promoting physical activity, healthy eating, and tobacco/drug avoidance, with local health councils advising on curriculum. The bill also establishes a state physical activity coordinator role with specific qualifications to support implementation.
