What’s in it

This bill expands the statewide preschool program for four-year-old children under Code chapter 256C to also include five-year-old children who have not previously enrolled in a preschool program under that Code chapter. The program is administered by local school districts subject to rules adopted by the state board of education and receives funding through the school aid formula. References to four-year-old children in the program named in Code chapter 256C and in related Code provisions are changed to “young children” or expanded to also refer to five-year-old children who have not previously enrolled in a preschool program under Code chapter 256C. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies to school budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2019.
