Arkansas Recess Law - 0 views
-
1Elementary students in grades K-6 will receive at a minimum a total of 150 minutes per week of physical activity. The 150 minutes shall include 60 minutes of scheduled physical education.

Former Representative Lindsley Smith of Fayetteville has introduced and passed House Resolution HR1023, urging school district administrators to provide 2 recesses per day to students grades K-6. Current Arkansas State law requires 6 hours of instructional time daily for all students, regardless of age, making it challenging for local educators to schedule two recess periods per day.
