A physical education (PE) goal must be about PE instruction. PE is an academic class that occurs during the school day.

Physical activity goals are about physical activity programs that occur before school, after school, during elective periods, and/or on weekends. These activities are extremely important and complement PE class; however, physical activities should occur in addition to PE and can not replace PE or count toward PE compliance.
