The Board of
Education recognizes the value of physical activity in the development and
maintenance of sound physical and mental health. Accordingly, the Board
directs the establishment, in accordance with law, and the New Jersey Core
Curriculum Content Standards of a program of physical education and the
enrollment therein of every pupil in attendance in the school of this district,
insofar as each is physically capable of participation. Each course will
provide pupils with a regimen of physical exercise and activity, assist pupils
in the development of physical skills and achievements, encourage pupils in a
spirit of sharing and cooperation, and instill in pupils a life-long
appreciation for physical activity. The successive courses of physical
education will be so designed as to provide pupils with exposure to a variety
of athletic and physical activities.
