The Illinois Enhanced Physical Education Strategic Plan​ was produced in collaboration by the Illinois State Board of Education, the Illinois Department of Public Health, and the Illinois Public Health Institute with input from the Enhanced P.E. Task Force to improve physical activity and wellness in Illinois schools. The Strategic Plan identifies ways that school boards, superintendents, and principals can be leaders in this effort, as well as corresponding community-level implementation strategies. This Strategic Plan provides a high-level roadmap for implementing the vision that all Illinois K-12 students will participate in daily, high-quality physical education.
