MAY A CHILD WHO IS 5 YEARS OLD ON SEPTEMBER 1 BE ENROLLED IN PREK4?
Posted by:
A child who is 5 years of age on or before September 1 of the current school year is eligible for and generally enrolled in Kindergarten. However, Senate Bill 1697, recently passed in the 87th Texas Legislative session, does provide parents/guardians the right to opt for their child to:
- repeat prekindergarten;
- enroll in prekindergarten if the child was eligible to enroll in prekindergarten in the previous school year, under TEC, §29.153(b), and has not yet enrolled in kindergarten;
These decisions should be discussed with school administrators to ensure the best decision is made for your student.
