Massachusetts H452 mandates daily recess for elementary school students to promote physical and social activities.

Massachusetts H452 ensures that all children in grades kindergarten through five attending public schools receive at least twenty consecutive minutes of supervised, safe, and unstructured free-play recess daily. The bill defines "free-play" as an environment that is supervised by appropriate school personnel or staff but remains unstructured. This provision aims to support physical and social activities among students, regardless of changes in standards or curriculum.
