| OH | Signed into law 12/2006 | P-12 | Increases high school graduation requirements for students entering grade 9 during the 2010-2011 school year (Class of 2014). Increases math units from 3 to 4; requires one unit of Algebra II or its equivalent. Existing 3-unit requirement in science calls for one unit biological sciences and one unit physical sciences. New requirements specify that 3 units science must all be lab sciences that include 1 unit physical sciences, 1 unit biology and 1 unit in one or more of the following: (1) chemistry, physics or other physical science; (2) advanced biology or other life science; or (3) astronomy, physical geology, or other earth or space science.
Division (K) of this section addtionally requires students entering grade 9 for the first time during the 2010-2011 school year (Class of 2014) to complete two semesters of fine arts, which requirement may be completed in any grade 7-12. Students who receive a waiver from the Ohio core graduation requirements, either through a parental agreement or through enrollment in an approved dropout prevention and recovery program, are not required but encouraged to enroll in a fine arts course as an elective.
Division (L) allows local boards to adopt policies excusing any student who has participated in interscholastic athletics, marching band or cheerleading for at least two full seasons during high school from the high school physical education requirement. A student who receives an excusal must complete a half unit of credit in another course of study.
Directs schools to integrate economics and financial literacy into one or more of the existing social studies credit requirements (American history and American government). In developing this integrated curriculum, schools must use available public-private partnerships and resources and materials that exist in business, industry, and through the centers for economics education at institutions of higher education in the state.
Replaces existing 6 units of electives with 5-unit elective requirement. Directs that these be fulfilled by one or any combination of foreign language, fine arts, business, career-technical education, family and consumer sciences, technology, agricultural education, or English language arts, mathematics, science, or social studies courses not otherwise required in the core curriculum.
Clarifies that a student may meet the Ohio core curriculum graduation requirements through a variety of methods, including integrated, applied, career-technical and traditional coursework.
Includes legislative intent: "Ohioans must be prepared to apply increased knowledge and skills in the workplace and to adapt their knowledge and skills quickly to meet the rapidly changing conditions of the twenty-first century. National studies indicate that all high school graduates need the same academic foundation, regardless of the opportunities they pursue after graduation. The goal of Ohio's system of elementary and secondary education is to prepare all students for and seamlessly connect all students to success in life beyond high school graduation, regardless of whether the next step is entering the workforce, beginning an apprenticeship, engaging in post-secondary training, serving in the military, or pursuing a college degree."

| LA | Signed into law 07/2004 | P-12 | Relates to the physical activity and nutrition of students. Identifies childhood obesity as a growing problem in Louisiana. Identifies benefits of regular physical activity and healthy eating habits. States purposes of this section are: (1) To promote, encourage, and motivate children of all physical abilities to participate in physical activity for children to reach their full potential as individuals; (2) To promote physical activity and fitness in schools by encouraging innovative physical education programs that consist of physical exertion of a moderate to vigorous intensity level; (3) To promote improved nutritional levels in children by providing for snacks with higher nutritional value during the school day; (4) To inform children and their parents about the importance of physical activity and improved nutrition and the effects of both on positive outcomes. (5) To increase parental awareness of their children's activity and fitness levels. (6) To promote daily physical activity, the enjoyment of physical activity, the improvement of nutritional levels and eating habits and the development of lifelong patterns of physical activity.
Deletes existing provision that, beginning with the 2004-05 school year, schools serving children in grades K-6 provide at least thirty minutes of quality physical activity for students each school day. Replaces with provision that in 2004-05 school year, schools serving children in such grades provide at least thirty minutes of "quality moderate to vigorous" physical activity for students every school day. Requires every public elementary school to annually report to its local board on compliance with this provision. Also requires every local board to annually report to the state board on compliance with this provision. Requires suitably adapted physical activity to be included as part of the individual education plans for students with chronic health problems, other disabling conditions or other special needs that preclude participation in regular physical activity.
Encourages secondary school students not enrolled in a physical education course to participate in moderate to vigorous physical activity commensurate with student ability for at least 30 minutes a day.
Requires various state agents, including the department of education and the department of health and hospitals, as well as the American Heart Association, to collaborate to develop an outreach and communication plan consisting of current information and research on health, nutrition and physical education and fitness issues. This plan must be disseminated to every local public school board and made available to parents and students.
Beginning with the 2004-05 school year, requires a public elementary or secondary school selected from each regional education service center region in the state to be annually identified for an outstanding program of physical activity implemented at the school. As funds are available, requires monetary awards to be given these outstanding schools.

Requires the state board to choose up to eight schools from each of the eight regional service districts to participate in the program, striving to achieve equal geographic distribution. Identifies areas of study: (1) An annual assessment that measures aspects of health-related fitness, rather than skill or agility, of the students in participating schools; (2) An assessment of the changes in weight status of the students who are enrolled in participating schools and who are receiving combined nutritional and physical activity intervention versus a nutritional intervention or physical activity intervention alone; and (3) The collection of individual baseline and longitudinal data to measure the improvement of each individual student. No assessment shall compare any student to another. Idenfities state entities required to collaborate to develop the elements of the pilot program and the recommendations for its implementation. Requires every school selected to participate in the program to provide a comprehensive report to the state board at the end of each school year on the effectiveness of the pilot program in accomplishing the pilot program objectives.
