Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would require Kentucky school districts to offer full-day preschool programs for eligible three and four-year-olds, with four-year-old programs funded through the state's main school funding formula and three-year-old programs continuing through grants. It also removes a current allowance that lets kindergarten run for less than six hours on a school day, and requires that preschool programs follow the regular school calendar and provide transportation. Who it may affect: families of preschool-age children, school districts, and students currently enrolled in or approaching kindergarten.
