School District 191 proposes full-day kindergarten for all
Full-day, everyday kindergarten would begin next fall in School District 191 under a proposal unveiled at Thursday’s School Board meeting.
The Burnsville-Eagan-Savage district already offers full-day kindergarten for a fee, but the program is out of reach for a growing number of low-income children who would benefit the most, administrators say.
Forty-five percent of district kindergartners are enrolled in the full-day program. Only 43 percent of kindergartners who qualify for free or subsidized lunch are enrolled, according to Superintendent Randy Clegg. See more in ThisweekLive story.
