Why are we cutting back on physical education when even Mrs. Obama is promoting more?

The reductions in time spent in physical education classes impact only the middle schools. And while BCSC also promotes exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle, it is incumbent upon the district to provide the best academic preparation it can for its students. Physical education classes, as well as other related-arts classes, are still being offered and we are fortunate that the community offers so many sports opportunities for our children outside of the school day.
