What’s in it

This bill makes kindergarten programs offered by school districts subject to the minimum school day and instructional requirements that currently apply to grades through 12. The bill eliminates references to half-day, full-day, and everyday kindergarten programs. Currently, students enrolled in kindergarten, whether in full-day or half-day programs, are counted as one pupil for purposes of state school foundation aid received by a school district pursuant to Code chapter 257.3.16.2. The inclusion of this specification is intended to reinstate the requirement of political subdivisions to comply with any state mandates included in the bill.
