BILL NUMBER:S7015 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to authorizing the board of education of the city school district of the city of New York to require minors who are five years old to attend kindergarten instruction PURPOSE: The bill allows the school district of the City of New York to require minors who are five years old on or before December 1st to attend kindergarten. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends Education Law § 3205 to authorize the school district of the city of New York to require children five years of age to attend kindergarten. Section 2 sets forth the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: Early childhood education has a lasting impact on children's academic and social outcomes. Research has shown that children who receive early educational interventions are more likely to graduate from high school, find a job, and stay out of jail. Early childhood education also makes economic sense: the return on investment for early education programs is 12%.
