Ca Mandatory Kindergarten Bill Sb 70 Requiring All Students To Complete Year Of Kindergarten Goes To Governor S Office

The state Senate passed an education bill Monday that requires all students to complete a year of kindergarten before entering first grade. Current California law does not require children to attend school until they are six years old. Senate Bill 70, authored by Sen. Susan Rubio, D-Baldwin Park, comes after many of the state’s youngest students skipped kindergarten during the COVID-19 pandemic — raising concerns about the learning gap. “As a public school teacher for 17 years, I have seen the devastating impact on young students who miss out on essential early education,” Rubio said. “Voluntary attendance for kindergarten leaves students unprepared for the educational environment they will encounter in elementary school. I thank the sponsor of this bill and my fellow legislators for supporting a bill that will change lives.” The bill is supported by several education advocacy groups and a number of school districts, including the Los Angeles Unified School District. “Research shows that kindergarten is an essential part of a student’s development, closing opportunity gaps and reducing chronic absenteeism,” said LAUSD Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho. “Committing a full year of kindergarten ensures that students receive high-quality academic, social and developmentally appropriate learning experiences.” Rubio expects Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign the bill into law. If it does, it will go into effect for the 2024-25 school year. Gary Overman, head of a nursery school in Westminster, says teaching children from a young age is important for their development. “We want kids to be able to take care of themselves and have the confidence to go to the next level,” she said. Children’s World Preschool in Westminster has been in business since 1964 and has taught countless children the skills needed to succeed in kindergarten. “Missing the institution of kindergarten could be a real detriment to the child going into first grade,” he said. At the same time, he’s not convinced that prekindergarten should become part of California law since it’s already so widespread. “I know my principals at the schools that I go to, and in talking to them, they say that very rarely do any kids come into their school that haven’t been to kindergarten,” Overman said.
