For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

My last blog post focused on the Fayette County Public School board’s decision to privatize school nursing services by going to the lowest bidder, a nursing agency, and discontinuing the 50-year relationship with the local health department.
