The resolution “Celebration of Play Day on June 28, 2025, and Promotion of Play Equity” was adopted by the Board.
- Proposal for the District to reaffirm its commitment to closing the play equity gap and championing policies that ensure all students access the benefits of sport, play, and movement.
- This initiative recognizes that play is crucial not only for physical health but also for fostering social-emotional learning, creativity, and resilience in students.
- By dedicating a day to play, the District aims to highlight these benefits and encourage schools and communities to prioritize recreational opportunities year-round.
Board President Schmerelson’s quote: “When we recognize that play is not a break from learning, but rather the way young minds explore and make sense of the world around them, we can see why ensuring equal access to play is so critical. We must commit ourselves to this important goal if we are to ensure our students are ready for the world.”
