Bill > H522

This bill proposes to modify Massachusetts state law to require full-day kindergarten for all children of kindergarten age. Specifically, the bill amends two sections of the Massachusetts General Laws. The first amendment instructs the state Board of Education to establish rules that mandate children attend a full-day educational program when they are of kindergarten age. The second amendment modifies language related to compulsory education to explicitly include children enrolled in full-day kindergarten. By making these changes, the bill effectively establishes full-day kindergarten as a mandatory educational requirement for children at kindergarten age, ensuring that all kindergarten-aged children in Massachusetts will participate in a full-day educational program. This change represents a significant shift in educational policy, potentially providing more comprehensive early education opportunities for young children in the state.
