CLASS follows a mix of statutory laws passed by state legislatures and administrative laws enforced by state administrative agencies. These guidelines aim to improve the health of students and the conditions in which they learn by focusing on physical education and nutrition. Because CLASS monitors, classifies, and evaluates these data, the American public have access to trusted data with which they can examine the relationship between student behavioral and health outcomes and school environment guidelines, state by state.
