TAKING IT TO CAPITOL HILL with Superintendents Josh Starr, Montgomery County (MD) Public Schools; Patrick Murphy, Arlington County (VA) Public Schools; and Jose Torres, School District U-46, (ILL).

In forming a network, or “consortium,” these school system leaders brought their proposal to Capitol Hill earlier this month to share their vision with elected officials in an effort to improve federal education policy.

If you’re a school or district leader struggling with the challenge of chronic absenteeism, as so many are across the U.S., you may not realize that structured recess is a research-backed approach to keep kids in school. In fact, a UC Berkeley study of Title I schools found that those partnering with Playworks had significantly lower chronic absenteeism rates. Further, Mathematica research demonstrated that Playworks schools spent 27% less time transitioning from recess back to learning, saving teachers valuable instructional time.
