Lawmaker Pushes Fitness Testing In Kansas Schools
A Kansas bill HB2090 would require districts to test fourth seventh ninth and twelfth graders for BMI and other fitness metrics. Results would be reported to the Kansas Department of Education and the Department of Health and Environment. Critics call BMI unreliable and burdensome while noting wellness goals already exist. Governor Sebelius highlighted obesity costs during a Topeka Chamber speech. Local officials question state mandates and emphasize existing wellness programs.
