Senate Amendment Sparks Hope for Elementary & Middle School Sports
An amendment, authored by U.S. Senator Patty Murray to ensure girls have equal opportunities to participate in sports in elementary and secondary schools, has been adopted as part of a major U.S. Senate education overhaul. The Bothel Reporter writes that "this amendment is designed to shine a light on the gap between access to, funding for, and quality of sports programs for girls and boys from Kindergarten through high school by compelling elementary and secondary schools to make information regarding their sports programs public, including participation and funding levels. It is supported by organizations across the country." Continue to the Bothell Reporter for more details.
