Local Education Agencies - As introduced, allows time spent by students in a physical education class to meet physical activity time requirements if the students are physically active in the class; clarifies that physical activity may include structured movement breaks; allows a teacher to prevent a student from participating in unstructured play and to assign activities to students during periods of physical activity to improve or correct student behavior. - Amends TCA Title 49.

SB 2189 amends Tennessee law (TCA Title 49) to clarify physical activity requirements for public school students. It allows time spent in physical education classes to count toward daily activity requirements if students are physically active during class, and explicitly includes structured movement breaks as valid physical activity. The bill also permits teachers to prevent unstructured play during activity periods and assign behavior-focused activities to students. This affects all Tennessee public schools and students in grades K-12, taking effect for the 2026-2027 school year.
