AI Summary
This bill aims to increase public access to school playground facilities for recreational and community use. It requires the Department of Education (DOE) to provide technical assistance to school districts, including creating a shared use toolkit and an online database of resources. The bill also creates a Shared Use Task Force within the DOE to identify barriers and make recommendations to facilitate the shared use of school facilities, especially in high-need communities where at least 50% of children are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. The task force is composed of representatives from school districts, public health departments, community-based programs in high-need areas, and recreational organizations, and it is required to submit a report to the Florida legislature by June 30, 2018, after which the task force will expire.
