Healthy Recess for Learning Act

This bill would change the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to encourage school districts that receive Title I funds to adopt a policy giving students at least 60 minutes of physical activity time each regular school day. Physical activity time would include recess and physical education classes. School districts could, if they choose, describe in their Title I plans how they will provide this time. The bill would also allow funds for safe and healthy student activities to be used for programs that provide at least 60 minutes of daily recess or other unstructured physical activity.
