Administrator flags new bill requiring 60 minutes of recess for K–6; playground plans pending
Summary
District administration told the board that a newly proposed bill would require K–6 students to have 60 minutes of recess per day, which may force schedule changes; playground plans are otherwise finalized pending contractor responses.
District Administrator Mark Stamper reported that playground plans are finalized and the district is awaiting contractor responses to finalize changes. He also told the board that "a new bill is being passed to require all students in grades K-6 to have 60 minutes of recess time a day," and that the district may need to look at restructuring schedules for next school year.
Board members heard the update but no formal action was taken; administration will return with specifics if and when the bill becomes law or affects scheduling choices.
