Amends GS 115C-81 to require that the basic education program include a requirement that all students in kindergarten through fifth grade participate in at least three supervised one‑hour physical education classes each school week. Allows for students from different grade levels to participate simultaneously if, in the opinion of the school principal, it is necessary at a particular school and the classes are appropriate to the ages of the participating students. Adds that the State Board of Education must require the teaching of one one-credit course on physical education each year in sixth through twelfth grades. Makes technical changes.

Amends GS 115C-47 by adding that it is each local board of education's duty to ensure that all students participate in physical education classes.

Applies beginning with the 2017-18 school year.
