Stop the nonsense and bring back recess. Too much time is spent fighting for better health practices; this is an easy way to incorporate movement and healthy activities. Not to mention time for our teachers to regroup and be better at what they do. Thanks.

what a disgrace. Healthy kids will have a future. What kind of message does this say about adults making this decision. Do the right thing. Exercise is the break during school they all need.

I may consider moving if my child is unable to have a healthy education in Florida. Healthy includes the opportunity to have unstructured activity time throughout the week,

Kids need an hour of physical activity daily, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Scotty we definitely want to join with other counties and go to the state level. As soon as we can get some change locally that is the plan!

My son is in kindergarten and only has recess twice a week! I definitely think this needs to be changed.

I recommend that every member of the Board spend a full day in a first grade classroom so that you can fully understand the impact this lack of physical recess has on our children.

It is ubelievable that our children have ittle or NO recess I have been noticing this since my youngest Elijah who is in 1st grade has ben in school! With the HORRIBLE nutrtion that this coumtry pumps into all our foods causing now children to develop diabetes lack of outdoor play and excersise is unthinkable and will only cause not only MY son health problems but it will set them up for frustration, bordom and FAILURE!! My son crys nearly everyday about it and ALL children NEED time to play THATS WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TODO ANYWAYS!!! We are only children ONCE remember??? Life is hard enough as it is now and economically this country is declining and becoming more poor leaving children to suffer not only poverty and STRESS which leaves them with anxiety and behavioral problems!!! HELLLLOOOO it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure this problem out!! I am one pissed off MOTHER!!!

Play is an important part of the day for elementary school children. They need to get out of their desks and interact with each other.
