State Senators Kevin Coughlin and Eric Kearney sponsored SB 210, requiring the boards of education of each school district, community school, chartered nonpublic school, and STEM school, to adopt a policy for all K-12 students to engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate to rigorous physical activity each school day, aside from recess, beginning in the 2011-2012 school year. The bill allows school districts, due to an undue financial hardship, to apply for a waiver of the physical activity requirement. It also revises nutritional requirements for food sold at schools and extends them to beverages, and it creates the Healthy Choices for Healthy Children Council.
