A BILL REQUIRING SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO OFFER FULL-DAY KINDERGARTEN IS HEADED TO THE GOVERNOR’S DESK.

IT’S IMPORTANT THAT FAMILIES HAVE EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION AT ALL LEVELS SAYS SENATOR KIMBERLY LIGHTFORD OF MAYWOOD.

REPRESENTATIVE HARRY BENTON OF PLAINFIELD.

MOST SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN ILLINOIS ALREADY HAVE A FULL-DAY KINDERGARTEN OPTION, BUT THOSE THAT DON’T WILL HAVE UNTIL THE 2027-2028 SCHOOL YEAR TO COMPLY. THE BILL MUST BE SIGNED INTO LAW BY THE GOVERNOR.
