An Act relative to physical and social recess in schools

This bill mandates that public schools in Massachusetts provide kindergarten through fifth-grade students with at least one hundred minutes of supervised, unstructured free-play recess each week. The law ensures that schools cannot reduce this recess time due to new curriculum standards or other changes, nor can they count this time toward required learning hours. By guaranteeing a minimum of twenty consecutive minutes of recess per day, the legislation aims to protect opportunities for physical and social activities for elementary students.
