LONG BEACH -- An average of 35,000 students depend on the Long Beach Unified School District each day for nutritious meals and physical activity. But under the weight of state budget cuts, physical activities and nutrition education are often the first to go.

Thirty-six states require physical education for elementary school students; thirty-three states for middle school and junior high students; and forty-two states for high school students.1 Due to the nature of physical education classes, there is a high likelihood of sports-related injuries or even death. The court found that the school had a duty to exercise reasonable care and supervision over students and to not expose them to an unreasonable risk of injury.8 The court went on to explain that physical education classes involve dangerous activities and, therefore, the school must minimize the risk by the exercise of care in instructing, preparing, and supervising the students.9 In addition, the supervision must be reasonable and appropriate for the age of the student and surrounding ...

Despite the 30-year gap in her teaching career, Shadow Oaks Elementary P.E. teacher Nicky Linneman describes keeping up with kindergartners, first- and second-graders as "fun.

After more than 60 meetings since 2008, the committee determining what daily schedules should look like when middle and junior high schools transition to intermediate buildings made its recommendations last night to the Columbia Board of Education. Some key elements include a slightly longer school day, a multigrade homeroom-style advisory period, mandatory time for tutoring or enrichment activities, a daily physical education or health class, a variety of elective options and the chance to earn high school credit in world languages or math.

BELLBROOK -- During the week, students went through an obstacle course in their school gym using equipment set up to show how blood flows through the heart. The students were the "blood cells." Part of the course involved jumping rope and taking their own pulse. After that learning experience, they had a bit of fun: They taped a teacher to the wall on Friday. The 590 third- through fifth-graders at Bell Creek Intermediate School, enjoyed last week's Jump Rope for Heart activities. Their goal, besides keeping their hearts healthy, was to raise $9,500 for the American Heart Association. If they did that, Sasha Taylor, the school's physical education teacher and coordinator of the activities, promised student donors they could duct tape a "mystery" teacher to the gym wall.

ON A RECENT morning in my pediatric neurology clinic, I saw a straight-A eighth-grade student from Virginia Beach who is a standout, nationally ranked runner. His public school has physical education five days a week, and students still have time for art, music and extracurricular activities. That such a student and school exist in Virginia may shock some who have read recent news reports citing growing opposition to requiring increased P.E. in schools. While this requirement would by no means make every student a genius or a track star, the example of this young man, his fellow students and his school proves it can be met without the sky falling on school boards and administrators.

Janneth, Brenda, and Guadalupe, sisters who live in Alameda County just outside San Francisco, all have severe medical conditions. Janneth, 16, the oldest, has chronic tonsillitis; Brenda, 13, has asthma; and Guadalupe, 9, has anemia. None of the girls have health care coverage. ' Over the past year, Janneth has missed several days of school because of the symptoms associated with tonsillitis, including fever, frequent coughing, throat swelling, inability to eat, and weakness. This has resulted in a significant decrease in her grades. Brenda can't participate in moderate and heavy physical activities, including physical education, because she doesn't have an Albuterol pump to help manage and control her asthma. She worries that she may have an asthma attack and need to be rushed to the ...
