Requiring heart health program in grades three through six

SB 819 mandates that West Virginia public schools with students in grades three through six implement a 12-week heart health program during the school year. The program requires nutrition education and aerobic physical activity instruction, aligning with state health standards and allowing flexible delivery methods like digital resources or printed materials. Schools must schedule dedicated time for the program, track student participation, and report accountability data to the state. This bill directly affects all public schools serving grades three through six in West Virginia, replacing prior physical education requirements for these grades with this specific heart health initiative.
