Do students have enough time to eat lunch in Colorado public schools? Representative Jenny Willford (D-Adams County) recently introduced a new bill during the 2024 state legislative session that considers this important question, along with time to play.
House Bill 2024-1301 aims to create a task force focused on looking at best practices for time to eat in school settings, in addition to supporting recess for younger students. It does not mandate anything for schools. Learn more about this new bill and why it matters for Colorado students, educators, and communities.
