Carol M. White Physical Education Program

The “Carol M. White Physical Education Program” is the only federal program that supports physical education.  As part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (PL 107-110), its purpose is to “begin, develop, and improve physical education programs for all kindergarten through 12th-grade students." The National Girls and Women in Sports Day Coalition supports this program and an increased investment in quality physical education in the U.S.
