Bill > H619

This bill aims to require all public schools in Massachusetts to provide at least 100 minutes of supervised, safe, and unstructured free-play recess each week for students in kindergarten through 5th grade, with a minimum of 20 consecutive minutes of recess per day. The term "recess" is defined as a period during the regular school day when students can engage in unstructured physical activity or social interaction, supervised by appropriate school personnel. The bill also specifies that regulations from the Department of Education cannot exclude recess from structured learning time requirements or increase the total number of hours required in the school year to meet the provisions of this bill.
