South Dakota schools must now offer students an annual fitness evaluation program, with students who score at or above 85 percent on at least five grade-appropriate fitness tests earning the title "Rushmore State Athlete" and receiving a commemorative pin or certificate. The Department of Education will set the specific fitness tests and standards through administrative rules, and each school district will designate a staff member to oversee the program.
