Bill overview
This bill requires elementary schools in Nevada to provide at least 20 minutes of outdoor recess each school day for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Schools must create policies addressing exemptions for students unable to participate, prohibiting recess denial based on academics or behavior (except in specific circumstances), and providing alternative indoor activities when outdoor recess is unsafe. Additionally, the bill allows high schools to offer academic credit for completing approved outdoor recreational activities outside of school hours, focusing on skills like identifying plants and animals and outdoor survival techniques.
