Priority #2
Provide youth with more ways to be physically active every day in school so they learn to become active adults.
A panel of experts from the Polk County community came together in the summer of 2011 to analyze the current state of youth physical activity. Gaps, initiatives, and stakeholders have been identified as part of this analysis. Stakeholders gathered in November, 2011 to affirm a work plan that came out of the analysis. Several new pieces of work have begun to advance this Healthy Polk Priority. Click here for a full report on the process.
