This
bill will bring enhanced physical activity and testing initiatives for
millions of Texas students.
The
bill was authored by Senator Jane Nelson whose district includes Flower
Mound, and the Senator was also our guest.
Dr. Kenneth Cooper of the Cooper Institute, a world renowned research
and advocacy center, spoke to our students on the serious issues of inactivity
and obesity that they are facing.
Our k-5th grade students must participate in moderate to vigorous physical
activity for 30 minutes during each school day,during PE or structured
recess.
In addition, all 3rd through 12th graders will receive a fitness assessment each year with results being available for parents and the data being compared to the schools academic test scores. The prediction is that there will be a DIRECT correlation !

Childhood obesity is a huge problem in Texas and across the United states.
Let's get moving to turn this trend around!
