HOUSE BILL 732
Out of committee (H Filed Office Chief Clerk)
School age, kindergarten prep
EDUCATION – Amends existing law to revise the definition of “school age” to include children who are four years of age and to provide that it is not compulsory for school districts to establish kindergarten preparedness programs and it is not mandatory for an eligible child to attend such a program.
RS31695 / H0732
This legislation allows local school districts and public charter schools to use their state appropriation on children who are age 4. This does not change the school age and does not mandate that any school or district offer such program. It simply provides flexibility for school boards and their community to decide whether they feel a kindergarten preparedness program is right for their district.
This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government, nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state local government therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
