TLSS: recess discussion

The question of how directed play should be
During what temperature range is appropriate (and how are children dressed?)
(Biancheria mentions that we have a coat donation program)
The procedural guidelines include:
  • "unless it is actively precipitating, is at or below 32 or above 90"
  • "Public spaces in proximity to the school, such as parks and public playgrounds may be appropriate substitutions for play space at the school"
  • "The School Committee shall equitably support budgetary requirement of recess for all elementary schools."
Some question from the subcommittee as to when admin should get back to School Committee on how implementation is going and what "needs tweeking"
Note that this policy recommends that mid-day recess be done BEFORE lunch rather than after.
