I heard quite the opposite from teachers themselves (who have seen these "studies" being done over the last 20 years (every few years, they do it again)..
and if it WERE to happen for SEpt, it would have been decided by now.
Again, this was "heard it through the grapevine" chatter, but it sounded pretty convincing. Based on reasons they knew about (not enough space being the main factor I think) it's just not possible to happen for this Sept..
hello....i have LOADS ofquestions regarding this topic. I have snooped around and it seems that we do in fact have the room. It is a projected 9 mil dollar job. What do you know about full day and what can we do to get it?
Bethpage -full day starting last week Miller Place- 1/2 DAY- they don't have the room is what I was told and it would take years to approve plans and build so not coming soon Mount Sinai- I think they are still half day too
Northport-East Northport School District #4 is currently conducting a feasability study for full day kindergarten. It looks like it will probably happen as there is great support in the community for it.
according to the district - no way for full day in 2010-11
When NYS saw the need for full time Kindergarten , they offered schoold districts zero to low interest loans to build extra classrooms, equipement and staffing. If the district said no, like KP, they are now on their own to bond money for it.
Nowadays, Kindergarten teaches what I learned in 1st grade! Crazy!
Is kindergarten attendance mandatory?
No. Kindergarten attendance is not mandatory. However, when a child does not attend kindergarten,
parents or guardians must be able to show that the child received adequate instruction on a kindergarten level in order for that child to be placed in first grade. (Matter of Cann, 1956, 77 St.
