Bill > HB513

This bill, effective July 1, 2027, aims to transition Kentucky's kindergarten programs to a full-day model by removing provisions that allowed for half-day kindergarten and adjusting how kindergarten students are counted for school funding. Specifically, it eliminates the definition of "Kindergarten full-time equivalent pupil in average daily attendance" which previously allowed for half-day counting, and removes language permitting half-day kindergarten programs. The bill also makes conforming changes to other sections of law related to school attendance and program base funding, ensuring that the state's funding calculations for schools reflect a full-day kindergarten experience.
