AI Summary

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion from the Utah Legislature, urges public schools to prioritize student health by encouraging at least 60 minutes of daily physical activity for all students in kindergarten through 12th grade, achievable through various means like physical education, recess, or classroom movement. It also encourages elementary schools, including charter schools, to 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 eating. The resolution acknowledges the importance of local control, allowing school districts and charter schools flexibility in implementing these recommendations to best suit their communities, and directs that copies be sent to the State Board of Education and all local education agencies.
