Recess Law

On April 4, 2018, Senate Bill 1083 was signed into law. The law requires all schools that have grades K-5 to provide two recess periods per school day. Per the law, recess is defined as “a period of time during the regular school day, including the time before or after a scheduled lunch period, during which a pupil is able to engage in physical activity or social interaction with other pupils”. 

Regular physical activity in childhood and adolescence is important for promoting lifelong health and well-being and preventing various health conditions. Schools are in a unique position to help children and adolescents get the nationally recommended 60 minutes of physical activity each day.
