May 8, 2007
Recommendation calls for 225 minutes a week for middle and high school students.
Boston City Councilor Michael P. Ross is urging the city's school system to require middle and high schools to devote at least 225 minutes a week to physical education as an antidote to students' weight and behavior problems. Ross says the school system has all but eliminated physical exercise as a priority for students.
