However, because this also supports the Recreation division’s goals of reducing childhood obesity, we believe the City should support the bill. Further, the bill encourages school districts to work with recreation activity providers to implement the goals outlined in the bill. Since the City already has a relationship with the school districts for recreation and after school activities, this should further our partnership in the shared goals outlined in the bill.
