Gold Medal Schools Pilot Program

The entire document was reformatted from a raw list of line-by-line edits into a structured bill format including a title, long title, and specific Utah Code sections affected.

The amendment instructions were replaced with the full text of the bill, including the Long Title summary and the specific sections of the Utah Code being amended.

Added a specific limitation allowing the state board to use up to 6.25% of appropriated funds for administrative costs.

Defined 'eligible school' as a district or charter elementary school in specific lower-income counties and 'gold medal recognition award' as a certificate for meeting physical education criteria.

Required selected schools to submit annual reports demonstrating whether they met established physical education criteria.

Added requirements for the state board to establish partnerships with local entities and grant participating schools autonomy to implement the program based on local needs.

Set the program implementation start date for the 2027-28 school year and established a sunset date of July 1, 2031.

The pilot program duration was changed from three years to five years.

A Senate sponsor (Keven J. Stratton) and cosponsors (Logan J. Monson and Jon Hawkins) were added to the header.

The highlighted provisions section was updated to reflect the five-year timeline instead of three years.
