Existing law requires the State Department of Education to encourage school districts offering instruction in kindergarten and any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, to (1) provide quality physical education that develops the knowledge, attitudes, skills, behavior, and motivation needed to be physically active for life, (2) provide daily recess periods for elementary school pupils, featuring time for unstructured but supervised play, (3) provide extracurricular physical activity programs and clubs, and (4) encourage the use of school facilities for physical activity and fitness programs offered by the school, public park and recreation districts, or community-based organizations outside of school hours.
This bill would require the department to instead make those encouragements to school districts offering instruction in prekindergarten, kindergarten, and any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive. The bill also would make nonsubstantive changes.
