Amends existing law to provide funding for full-day kindergarten and to provide that students in full-day kindergarten shall be counted as full-time students for purposes of enrollment counts.

This purpose of this bill is to provide funding for optional full-day kindergarten, providing local districts and charter schools with more flexibility to pay for optional full-day kindergarten without relying on student tuition and supplemental levies. Disparity in kindergarten funding has led to a statewide patchwork of full-day kindergarten opportunities. This bill would offer parity statewide so if school districts and families decide that optional full-day kindergarten is appropriate for their children, funding would not be a barrier to their choice in education.
