Can a school allow kids to go outside in a windchill below 10?

It probably depends on your own school district, but I do know that at my Mom's school, they do not allow the kids to go out to recess if it's too cold outside. I'm not sure what the exact number is, but it's way higher than 10 F. I think it's probably about 32 F, but again I'm not sure.

Yes. They can and do it all the time. Then your kid gets sick and you get to take them to the doctor. Lose time off of work to stay home with them. And hopefully, send them back and no one else has it to pass it back to your kid. It's maddening to me. They say they need the fresh air and time to play outside. Bull! It's just easier on them to shove them all out side. You can however write a note and ask that when it's a certain temp, your child stay in. They will do that. But your kid will most likely be by themself in the library doing homework or reading. They don't get to play. I do let mine out in the winter. Just not on a daily basis for long periods of time.

Um they really shouldn't. If they are allowing your child go out and you don't approve you can write a note saying he isn't allowed out to play the days that the weather is especilaly bad.
