The policy will be required as part of the ODE child nutrition audit beginning with the 2017-2018 school year. The physical education minute requirements were a result of HB 36141 (2007) and were effective with the 2017-2018 school year. Language included in the policy related to the physical education minutes are based on a potential two-year delay on implementing the requirement, due to pending legislation (SB 4) in the current Legislative session (2017).
