HB 1938 Oklahoma House · 2026 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 through 12 starting in the 2025-2026 school year. The assessments must measure aerobic capacity, body composition, and muscular strength using age- and gender-specific health standards, with exemptions for students with disabilities. School districts must report anonymized results to state education and health agencies and provide clear summaries to parents, while the State Department of Education and Health must analyze correlations between fitness results and factors like obesity, attendance, academic performance, and school meal programs. The bill also mandates an annual report to the Governor on district compliance and allows for recognition programs for schools showing fitness improvements.
