Mansfield School District

In May 2014, the Mansfield School District was funded by the US Department of Education for a Carol M. White Physical Education Program Grant. The grant performance period is 05/01/14 through 04/30/17.

The project is titled: Mansfield School District: Improving the Physical Health of Students Through Focused Curricular and Programmatic Strategies in Physical Education, Health Education and Nutrition Education.

There are three goals for this project:

1. Increase the percentage of students engaging in 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous daily physical activity.
2. Increase the percentage of students meeting the standard of a healthy fitness zone as established by the assessment for the Presidential Youth Fitness Program in at least five of the six fitness areas.
3. Increase the percentage of students who consume fruit two or more times per day and vegetables three or more times per day.
