From the transcript
What's changing and what's not? So we're increasing the time for PE next year from 90 minutes to 100 minutes weekly. That gets us to— when we add our PE time in there, that's 50 minutes a week on average of daily physical activity, which gets us very close to that required CDC 54 minutes. So we are doing really well at meeting that benchmark for the state of Alaska. Our enhanced SEL scheduling, again, both at the instructional division and within our scheduling guidelines, we are setting that 30-minute— finding that 30-minute time block, which can be really challenging if you've looked at an elementary schedule, but really finding that 30 minutes to do a solid SEL lesson using our adopted curriculum.
