Summary of the Strike-Everything Amendment to HCR 2015

Overview

Declares the Legislature supports efforts by public schools to both ensure students participate in daily physical activity and to prominently display the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

History

Each school district and charter school must provide at least two recess periods during the school day for kindergarten and 1st-5th grade students. A school that offers half-day kindergarten must provide at least one recess period during the school day. Recess is a period of time during the regular school day, including during a lunch period, in which a student can engage in physical activity or social interaction with other students (A.R.S. § 15-118).

State Board of Education rules require common school students to demonstrate competency in health/physical education (A.A.C. R7-2-301).

On January 7, 2026, the Secretaries of the United States Department of Health and Human Services and the United States Department of Agriculture published the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030. The guidelines outline recommended foods, serving amounts and dietary considerations for the American public (Dietary Guidelines for Americans).

Provisions

1.   Declares the Members of the Legislature:

a.   support efforts by Arizona public schools to ensure that kindergarten and 1st-12th grade students participate, if able, in a minimum of 60 minutes of physical activity each school day through physical education, recess, classroom movement, extracurricular activities and other appropriate means;

b.   support efforts by Arizona public schools to prominently display the Dietary Guidelines for Americans in a location accessible to students and staff; and

c. recognize the importance of local control and flexibility and support efforts by public schools to implement the recommendations in ways that best serve each local education agency's students and communities.
