Why did they shorten?

FIT is new at our school where it changed, that makes sense.

At our school it's still 30 minutes for lunch and 30 minutes for recess, as it has been for years. But our school has also had FIT/intervention time most days for years already.

(Although probably part of it too is that our school is already doing lunches all the way up until 2:15pm-- adding an extra 5 minutes to every lunch period wouldn't even be feasible I don't think...)

My K kid has 35 minutes for lunch and 35 for recess, but my 4th grader has only 30 minutes for each of those... and last year it was 35 each. So, yeah, seems like it.

Did any other elementary schools shorten their lunch and recess time by 10 minutes this year?
