Your Email (Feel free to edit):	Dear Mr. Scott, I am worried about how overweight and obesity are affecting the health and academic performance of Chicago Public School students, especially those in low-income Latino and African-American communities. The Chicago Board of Education can improve our children's opportunities for health and learning by adopting a school wellness policy that includes: 1. Salad bars, combined with in-service nutrition training for teachers, in grammar schools 2. Physical education at least twice/week for grammar schools students and 4 semesters for high school students 3. Accountability by adding a health indicator to the School Score Cards 4. School improvement plans containing health goals to ensure student wellness is being addressed at the school level. I am counting on your leadership to turn this public health crisis around! Sincerely,
	When you click this button, you will be sending an email to CPS Board Chairman Michael Scott.
