Bill Summary
Relative to universal full-day kindergarten. Education.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that all school districts must offer a full-time kindergarten program, meaning kindergarten will be a full school day and operate for the same number of days as other elementary school grades. An "elementary school" is defined as a school serving grades 1 through 5, 6, 7, or 8, and can also include middle or intermediate schools if designated by the school committee. To help districts cover the expenses associated with providing this full-time kindergarten, they will be able to apply for a "Quality Full-Time Kindergarten Grant." This legislation is set to become effective on September 1, 2016.
