Schoolyards Opening Up

April 11th, 2012

One of the things I’ve always been jazzed about is coming up with simple and easy policy interventions to drive public health change.  The Governor signed a bill that’s a good example.  SB1059 addresses liability concerns of schools when opening outdoor facilities to the public outside of the school day. This is a critical first step to making it easier for schools to open playgrounds to the public so children have more places to play and be physically active. Nice.
