Bill > HCR011

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion from the Utah Legislature and Governor, encourages public schools to prioritize student well-being by promoting healthy activities. Specifically, it urges every public school to ensure students in kindergarten through 12th grade participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily, which can be achieved through various means like physical education, recess, or classroom movement. Additionally, it recommends that elementary schools, including charter schools, organize annual educational field trips to working farms to learn about agriculture and food production, or to whole-food restaurants to understand food sanitation, meal preparation, and healthy cooking. The resolution acknowledges the importance of local control, encouraging school districts and charter schools to adapt these suggestions to their specific communities, and mandates that copies be sent to the State Board of Education and all local education agencies.
