Full-Day K Back On The Table

The always contentious issue of full-day kindergarten is back.

At yesterday’s Board of Education meeting, the topic of moving to 5 full days of kindergarten rose up during a discussion of K-5 instructional minutes, and special area scheduling.

There were passionate comments on both sides of the issue.

A 2nd meeting for further Board discussion — including public comment — is set for March 18 (7:30 p.m., Staples High School cafeteria). A vote will be taken April 8.

This is a hot topic, particularly among parents of young children. Click “Comments” to add your thoughts, in advance of the Board of Ed meeting.
