Requires elementary school students to have at least 20 minutes of daily physical activity.
Mississippi SB2521 mandates that each local public school district must ensure elementary school students receive a minimum of 20 minutes of physical activity each school day. This activity must include unstructured play and is not to be withheld as a form of punishment, except in cases where a student poses an immediate threat to themselves or others. The physical activity should occur outdoors, but indoor spaces can be used if weather conditions prevent outdoor activity.
