The Fairfax County School Board intends to approve policy revisions next month that would make recess a requirement at all elementary and middle schools.
Under the proposed changes to Fairfax County Public Schools’ student and staff health and wellness policy, all middle school students would be guaranteed at least 15-minute, supervised recess breaks during the day. Elementary school students will get two recess breaks per day, totaling at least 30 minutes.
