HSC Goals 2012
The RI Healthy Schools Coalition (HSC) now boasts a membership of over 150 individuals representing 100+ RI organizations, schools and districts. The organization is quite simple: all that's required to become a member is to simply agree to support the Coalition Goals (see below) and to "do something" in the scope of your work and/or your role as a caregiver that will help Rhode Island achieve the Coalition's five-year goals.
Goal 1: By October 2012, ALL school districts in RI will develop and implement high quality, performance based Physical Education curriculum incorporating the RI Physical Education Standards. That curriculum will be delivered in every RI school to all school children preK-12 to develop the knowledge, skills, behaviors and confidence needed to be physically active for life.
Goal 2: By October 2012, ALL schools in RI will fully implement district- and state-adopted policies and laws ensuring that ALL foods and beverages available on school campuses and at school events contribute toward eating patterns that are consistent with dietary guidelines for Americans.
Goal 3: By October 2012, ALL staff in RI schools will have access to wellness programs incorporating nutrition and physical activity education and programming opportunities.
