Senate Bill 365 would amend the Revised School Code to do the following: 

COMMITTEE APPROVES MORE GYM CLASSES

Michigan students would have to take more physical and health education throughout their school career under legislation reported by the Senate Health Policy Committee. But the bills now move to the Senate Appropriations Committee because of the School Aid Act implications.

There was no testimony Wednesday opposing the bills (SB 365, SB 366) that would set minimum times for physical and health education for elementary and middle school (high school requirements are already set in the state graduation requirements). Schools not providing the required time would risk losing state aid.

But as reported the bills would allow parents to exempt their children from the classes without explanation.
