Summary

Full-day kindergarten program plans. Requires each local school board that does not offer a universal full-day kindergarten (FDK) program for each kindergarten student in the school division to develop and implement a plan to fund and phase in a universal FDK program for each kindergarten student in the school division and submit the plan to the General Assembly in advance of the 2019 Regular Session of the General Assembly. The bill requires such plan to identify the number and percentage of students enrolled in FDK in the local school division (i) during the 2014-2015 school year and (ii) at the end of 2017, the specific steps for full implementation of the plan, impediments to full implementation of the plan, the areas in which support from the Commonwealth is necessary to achieve full implementation of the plan, and lessons learned from previous or ongoing efforts to provide a universal FDK program that can be shared with other local school boards that do not offer a universal FDK program.
