Results in Brief: Evaluation of the Carol M. White Physical Education Program
Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development, US Department of Education
The Carol M. White Physical Education Program (PEP) provides grants to districts and community-based organizations (CBOs) to initiate, expand, and improve physical education for students in kindergarten through grade 12. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Education issued new regulations for PEP that included the following: (1) requiring grantees to give attention to healthy eating habits and nutrition; (2) requiring grantees to conduct a needs assessment, with districts and CBOs partnering with a district or school required to use four designated modules of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's School Health Index (SHI); (3) using this assessment to develop project goals and plans to address identified weaknesses; (4) encouraging grantees to establish partnerships with community entities; (5) encouraging grantees to collect and use body mass index (BMI) data; and (6) establishing new performance measures and standard data collection methods. This report provides the results of the implementation study of the 76 projects (64 district-led and 12 CBO-led) funded by fiscal year (FY) 2010 PEP grant awards--the first cohort of grantees under the revised PEP.
