HB 1938 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Schools; directing school districts to conduct an annual fitness assessment.

HB 1938 requires Oklahoma school districts to conduct annual fitness assessments for students in grades 3-12 starting in the 2025-2026 school year. The assessments must measure aerobic capacity, body composition, and muscular strength/endurance using age- and gender-specific health benchmarks, with exemptions for students with disabilities. Districts must report anonymized results to the State Department of Education and provide clear summaries to parents, while the state analyzes correlations between fitness results and factors like obesity, attendance, and academic performance. The bill also mandates annual reports to the Governor on district compliance and allows for recognition programs for schools improving fitness outcomes.
