News from New York! Students in New York City will now receive excellent physical education instruction and opportunities for physical activity!

It’s all thanks to Local Law 102, which went into effect on June 28.By collecting comprehensive data from its schools, the Department of Education empowers parents, educators, and advocates to determine where to direct resources to ensure every child has access to effective PE. This policy will help 1.1 million New York City students have a better chance for greater health and academic outcomes!
