Bill > A00878

This bill amends the Education Law to lower the compulsory age for full-time instruction from six to five years of age, with certain exceptions. Specifically, the bill allows parents to elect not to enroll their child in school until the following school year by submitting a written notice to the school district. The bill also requires school districts to send written notice to parents about this option by March 1st of each year. The bill takes effect on the first of July following the date it becomes law.
