171. A Process Evaluation of A Fitness Curriculum To Meet Physical Activity Policy Requirements: A Pilot Study

In 2007, Oregon passed a quality physical education (PE) policy (House Bill 3141), requiring elementary and middle school students receive at least 150 and 225 minutes of physical activity each week, respectively. Schools received a 10-year preparation period with implementation planned for Fall 2017. To assist with implementation, the American Heart Association (AHA) worked with the Salem-Keizer Public Schools to assist teachers in understanding policy requirements, exploring potential curricula, and planning for policy implementation.
