A new law in Tennessee requires recess for students, but it may pose challenges for school districts. The issue arises when the heat index reaches extreme levels.

When the heat index exceeds 100 degrees, schools may be forced to keep students indoors. This could conflict with the new recess requirement, causing difficulties for some districts.

Further information on this topic is available from WKRN News 2, including how schools are addressing this issue as students return to class.
