Nevada lawmakers are considering a bill that would make physical education mandatory for students in kindergarten through 11th grade.
Members of the Senate Education Committee are scheduled to review SB178 at a meeting Tuesday.
The bill would close some loopholes that allow P.E. requirements to be waived or excluded from a personalized education plan.
It would also require a council to set standards for P.E. content and performance.
The bill is sponsored by Republican Sen. Joe Hardy, who's a doctor from Boulder City.
It could face opposition for requiring more of schools without providing funding to carry out the proposed programs. Â (AP)
