The district's health education curriculum is designed to accomplish three basic aims:

a) To develop wholesome health skills and practices;

b) To encourage sound attitudes towards good health; and

c) To acquire up-to-date and scientific health knowledge.

The Supervisor of Health, Physical Education, and Athletics is directly responsible to the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum Instruction, Staff Development and Technology K-12 for the development, implementation, maintenance, and evaluation of the district's Health, Physical Education and Athletic programs.

In recognition of the religious tenets of certain families, the Board of Education, subject to the regulations of the State Board of Regents, shall excuse students from required study of Health and Hygiene if such study is found to conflict with the religion of his/her parents.

Such conflict must be certified by a proper representative of their religion.
