Purpose: To examine Wyoming physical education (PE) and physical activity (PA) policy and report current district-, school-, and classroom-level data. Method: A total of 175 public preK-12 PE teachers completed the 30-item Wyoming PE and PA Policy survey in April 2021. Results: Participants reported PE offered in elementary school was 73.1 (±34.3) min/week over 1.96 (±0.720) days, middle school 161.2 (±68.2) min/week over 3.13 (±1.29) days, and 229.8 (±85.3) min/week over 3.79 (±1.34) days in high school. Weekly recess minutes averaged 152.75 (±51.21). Recess was withheld as punishment in 51.8% of schools. About 10.2% of students earn PE credits for non-PE activities. Students earn online outsourced PE credits online in 12.5% of schools. Conclusions: PE in Wyoming schools is offered less than half the recommended weekly minutes, while recess is offered considerably more than the recommended amount.
