School-aged kids across California will have a mandatory 30-minute recess break starting with the 2024-25 school year under a bill Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed into law.

On school days with early dismissal, students will be entitled to at least a 15-minute recess break.

Under the new law, educators will also no longer be able to withhold the outdoor break recess as a form of disciplinary action.
