K-12 standards focus on student movement, emphasize fit and healthy lifestyles
Louisiana students will spend more of their physical education class moving, starting with the 2027-2028 school year. The Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) approved revised K-12 physical education standards during its meeting Wednesday (August 19, 2026). The standards were developed by a committee of educators and stakeholders through a review the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) began over a year ago.
“Research consistently shows the positive impact of personal fitness on a healthy life,” said Louisiana State Superintendent of Education Dr. Cade Brumley. “These fitness-based standards equip students with knowledge and skills they'll use the rest of their lives to remain active.”
Along with BESE approval, the standards have also been endorsed by the Physical Education Content Standards Steering Committee and the Superintendents' Advisory Council.
