An Act relative to recess for elementary and middle school students

This bill requires Massachusetts public and charter schools to provide all K-8 students with at least 30 minutes of daily supervised outdoor recess when weather permits, or indoor physical activity if needed. Schools cannot reduce recess time due to curriculum changes or withhold it for academic work, individualized education plans, or completing classroom tasks. Exceptions apply to shortened school days (e.g., delayed openings) and field trip days.
