Recess requirements are found in Administrative Regulation
FFA(R) as part of the District Wellness Plan. The School Health Advisory Council is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations for revisions to the Wellness Plan.
As written in the policy, campuses will: provide a regularly scheduled daily recess at the elementary level that is a minimum of twenty minutes of recess, of which at least 15 minutes is unstructured. The recess cannot be used for punishment, study hall or tutoring. Schools that choose to have a lunch recess are encouraged to schedule the recess before lunch because it can increase nutrient intake and reduce food waste.
