An Act relative to recess for elementary school children

This bill requires public elementary schools in Massachusetts to provide at least twenty consecutive minutes of supervised, unstructured free-play recess daily for students in grades K through 5. It mandates that this break time remains safe and free from academic instruction, ensuring it is not counted toward required learning hours or increased by new curriculum standards. Additionally, the law prohibits schools from reducing recess time when adopting new educational standards or curricula, protecting the opportunity for physical and social activities.
