The following message went out to Marissa Rathbone's School health and Wellness list-serv members on November 13, 2009.
The information provided below is critical for the proper implementation of the Physical Fitness Assessment Initiative (PFAI) during the 2009-2010 School Year. Please read the following information thoroughly.
- Due to changes in federal and state ethnicity codes, schools will not be required to submit ethnicity data during the 2009-2010 school year.
- If your school wishes to import student ethnicity data into FITNESSGRAM, it will be filtered out as a part of the state data collection, but will still be useable at the local level.
- The Fitnessgram 8.5 update is now available through Human Kinetics. Visit http://www.fitnessgram.net/information/updates.
