           SUMMARY  :  Designates July 2010 as Summer Learning and Wellness  
          Month; and, recognizes that all children need fun, safe, and  
          educational opportunities in the summertime that prevent summer  
          learning loss and summer weight gain.  Specifically,  this  
          resolution  makes the following legislative findings:

          1)Measurable learning loss due to an absence of summer learning  
            and enrichment disproportionately affects children from  
            low-income families; and, the supply of low-cost summer  
            programs in California is extremely limited relative to the  
            number of children with low-income parents.

          2)Many children with low-income parents lose access to healthy  
            school meals and organized physical activity during the summer  
            months; and, studies indicate that most children gain weight  
            more rapidly when they are out of school for summer,  
            especially African American and Hispanic children.

          3)The national Summer Learning Day on June 21 celebrates how  
            public and private summer programs send young people back to  
            school ready to learn, support families, and help keep  
            children safe and healthy.
