AJC: Bill Would Prevent 4 Year-Olds From Attending Kindergarten
Decatur Metro | January 29, 2015 | 2:05 pmIt’s an AJC-reports-on-legislative bills kind of day. Here’s the latest potential bill that would affect a fair number of Decatur parents…
State lawmakers are considering a proposal that would prevent 4-year-olds from enrolling in kindergarten.
House Bill 100 would require a child to be 5 by Aug. 1 for the start of the 2015-16 school year or by June 30 for the 2016-17 school year.
The bill’s proponents say the measure is needed because many 4-year-olds don’t have prior experience in a classroom and aren’t ready for a kindergarten environment.
