Bill > S03573

This bill amends the Education Law in New York to lower the compulsory age for full-time instruction from six to five years old. It also allows parents to delay enrolling their five-year-old child in school by submitting a written notice to the school district by April 1st prior to the school year, provided they enroll the child the following September. The bill establishes a process for school districts to notify parents about this option and requires the state Commissioner of Education to prescribe the form for these notices and adopt regulations to implement the new provisions.
