Anchorage students may see longer lunch and recess periods next year after the school board passed an update to its wellness policy.
Students at Rogers Park Elementary School take advantage of the sunny crisp day during recess, Sept. 26, 2019.
The 30-minute recess minimum could also mean significant expansion in recess for schools that were only using 20 minutes of the overall 45-minute block for recess, Lessens said. The new policy also updates language around how much physical activity students should get each day, dictates 30 minutes of lunch for secondary students, revamps physical education programming and timing, and says schools must offer students a reimbursable meal whether or not they have money to pay for it.
