State Standards

Idaho does not currently have state standards for Physical Education. Therefore, Boise Public Schools Physical Education Department has aligned themselves with the Indiana State Standards. The state of Indiana developed their standards from standards set forth by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE). Both the NASPE and Indiana State Standards reflect the educational philosophies and values of the Boise School District.
