Dear Supporters,

On Tuesday, Feb. 25th at noon, HB 1688 (sponsor- Rep. Cepicky) will be discussed again, and probably voted upon in the House Education Subcommittee for Curriculum, Testing, and Innovation.  

The bill has the potential to delete the current 2018 Tom Cronan Law, requiring 2 days of Elementary Physical Education per week taught by a licensed and endorsed physical education teacher. 

TAPHERD Proposal

• We proposed an amendment to the sponsor which would require that 2 of the physical activity breaks per week would be instructional physical education classes taught by a licensed, endorsed physical education teacher.

Here is what you can do to help.

1. Contact a member of the Subcommittee about the importance of 2 days of elementary physical education per week (as listed above) for inclusion into HB 1688. Members are: Debra Moody, David Byrd, Mark Cochran, John DeBerry, Jr., Bill Dunn, Harold Love, Jr., and Mark White. CLICK HERE for contact info of Subcommittee
2. Contact Your Local Representatives and Senators to express concern for any legislation that would alter/delete the Cronan Bill for Elementary Physical Education. Click here to find your representative and senator.
