Recess Legislation in Limbo

February 18th, 2016 by Mike Vasilinda

By a vote of 112-2, The State House approved legislation this afternoon that would require school districts to spend 100 minutes a week on recess for elementary students. The legislation is supported by the PTA , but it has run into trouble in the state Senate, where it is being stopped. Co sponsor Irv Slosberg called the legislation a no brainer.

“They’re under so much stress they need some recreation, It’s gonna increase their focus in the longterm. It’s gonna reduce stress,and its really important that they develop social skills. Physical activity, it feeds the brain” says Slosberg.

Senate Education ChairmanChairman John Legg of Pasco County is refusing to hear the bill, saying it would take too much time from classroom activities.
