Virginia May Issue Fitness 'Report Cards'
Virginia state education and health officials will consider a report this fall that recommends Virginia public school students be graded on their physical fitness.
The "report cards" are intended to help children maintain healthy weights and exercise habits.
Virginia, like other states, is trying to do something about the growing girth of schoolchildren by improving school food choices and encouraging physical activity. A joint committee made up of members of the Virginia Board of Education and the Virginia Board of Health released a working draft of its recommendations this week.
