This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

Summary

(1) Existing law authorizes specified school districts to enter into joint use agreements with other public entities for operation of joint use facilities. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to increase the flexibility of joint use policies and practices that will allow schools and communities to optimize resources, share costs, and identify creative solutions to increase access to safe places to play and exercise. (2) Existing law establishes the After School Education and Safety Program to serve pupils in kindergarten and grades 1 to 9, inclusive, at participating public elementary, middle, junior high, and charter schools. Each component of a program shall consist of 2 specified elements. This bill would require, by the start of the 2013–14 school year, an additional physical fitness element that includes at least 30 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity as specified. Because this bill would require participating schools to conduct a new program, it would constitute a state mandated local program. (3) Existing law provides that the department shall select applicants to participate in the program from among applicants who apply on forms and in a manner prescribed by the department. The application submitted shall certify that specified content, including opportunities for physical activity, is a part of the program. This bill would require that opportunities for physical fitness to include at least 30 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity, as defined in the Physical Education Model Content Standards and Physical Education Framework as specified, commencing by the start of the 2013–14 school year. (4) Existing law requires that the adopted course of study for grades 1 to 6, inclusive, include instruction, in specified areas of study, including physical education. This bill would require that, by the start of the 2013–14 school year, at least 50% of the time spent in physical education be spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity within the context of the physical education content standards and framework as adopted by the State Board of Education. Existing law requires that all pupils, except pupils excused or exempted as specified, attend courses of physical education for a total period of time of not less than 400 minutes each 10 schooldays. This bill would require that, by the start of the 2013–14 school year, at least 50% of the time spent in physical education be spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity within the context of the physical education content standards and framework as adopted by the State Board of Education. (5) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
