Senate to take up kindergarten readiness bill
The Senate plans to take up SB 5427, a bill that would direct schools that receive state funding for all-day kindergarten, to the extent funds are available, to use a kindergarten assessment process specified by OSPI and report the results to OSPI. Parents and legal guardians would be able to opt out of the readiness assessment. The requirement starts in the 2012-13 school year. Stay tuned.
