Bill > S07528

This bill amends the Education Law to lower the compulsory age for full-time instruction from 6 to 5 years of age, with certain exceptions. Specifically, it allows parents to elect not to enroll their child in school until the following September if the child turns 5 after December 1st (or a later date set by the school district). The bill also requires school districts to provide notice to parents about this option and establishes a process for submitting and reviewing such election notices.
