(b) Each school district shall designate a local committee(s) to determine criteria that districts shall use to evaluate and assign a rating of Exemplary (E), Recognized (R), Acceptable (A), or Unacceptable (U) for the following programs or specific categories of performance for the district and each campus:
(1) fine arts;
(2) wellness and physical education;
