At the 2013 Texas Legislature, Sen. Jane Nelson (R-Flower Mound) introduced SB 65, as a way to recognize schools for creating a healthy environment. If this bill were to be enacted schools would be recognized with a bronze, silver, or gold, award according to the success of their school’s fitness program. Private and non-profit entities would be allowed to provide donations and incentives to schools that receive healthy school recognition.
