I want to give you live look this is interchange. Looks good. All right. Thank you, vanessa. The pressures on to do better on standardized tests. As a result, recess has suffered. Now its a luxury. And not every school has it. But now theres renewed hope for a law to make it mandatory. Fox 13s kelly cowan has more. I know lot of parents are yeah, there is a big push to put recess back into their small student schedules. You know, already, weve had Pinellas County after this legislation was first introduced. And failed last year try to make it a part of their students required day. Put it back into their schedule. At least 20 minutes each day that they dont have have pe already. Parents are simply saying thats not enough. They want 20 minutes recess every day for children kindergarten through fifth grade. And thats what this bill is aiming to do. Now last spring, the same exact bill failed because it didnt make it out of senate committee. Thats because the chair of that committee senator john legg said that this shouldnt be something that the state should mandate. It should be decided by the individual School Districts themselves. Thats simply isnt happening. According to most parents across simply too caught up in Test Preparation and in academic rigors that the states demanding to actually allow for that 20 minutes a day of recess. We want all kids regardless of their background what school they are at, to have on the days at least that they dont have p e that opportunity to go outside, get the wiggles out for a couple minutes and go back inside, refreshed. And ready to focus on the rest of their studies. So even though t bill failed in the spring, this new one that has been reintroduced and will hopefully make it to not only make it to the floor in both the house which overwhelming passed last time around hopefully make it oh noor senate this time around basically mirror image of that bill that failed last spring. It would require 5 days a week at least 20 minutes a day of free play recess just like these kids behind me are taking part kindergarten through fifth grade. Like you were saying, jen. Its simply amazing that that simply not something thats happening for a lot of kids across our state right now. All right kelly, thank you. Thanks. All right still wiped out from thanksgiving .
