Deadline to report physical education evaluations approaching The Ohio Department of Education reminds all districts and schools to report Ohio physical education evaluation data to local EMIS coordinators before the school year ends. Ohio law requires public and community schools to assess every student once per grade band (K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12). The evaluations were designed to be incorporated within physical education lessons throughout the academic year. Additional information is available on the Department’s website .
