Oklahoma's Healthy & Fit School Scorecard
The creation of the Oklahoma Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports has brought concern for Oklahomans’ health and fitness to the highest level of state government. The Governor’s Council serves in an advisory capacity to the Governor and State leaders on issues related to physical activity, providing vision and leadership to agencies and policy makers. It serves as a catalyst in the development and promotion of programs and activities that contribute to healthy lifestyles and wellness of the people of Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Council is charged with promoting the benefits of sports fitness and physical activity and motivating all Oklahomans to become and stay active and fit. Oklahoma’s Healthy and Fit Schools Scorecard is a self-assessment tool designed for schools and their Healthy and Fit Advisory Committees to utilize in determining the quality of their nutrition and physical activity school programs. This web-based survey will offer feedback in the form of awarding a school either Bronze, Silver or Gold status based on the overall score achieved or identify areas where there is room for improvement. This program was launched in the spring of 2007 and is available to all schools in Oklahoma.
