Closed Session Confidential Student Matter: Consideration of Action to Admit Student ID #: 02-25-21.1 Pursuant to Education Code Section 48000(b)
California dictates that students entering kindergarten must be 5 years-old by September 1.
The governing board of a school district may on a case-by-case basis, admit to a kindergarten - a child having attained the age of five years at any time during the school year with the approval of the parent or guardian, subject to the following conditions:
(1) The governing board of the school district determines that the admittance is in the best interests of the child.
(2) The parent or guardian is given information regarding the advantages and disadvantages and any other explanatory information about the effect of this early admittance.
Executive Director, Matt Huxley, and Elementary School Principal, Leah Rubin are recommending to the Board that they allow for an incoming kindergarten student who will turn five on September 16 be admitted to attend the 2021/22 school year. Furthermore, it is requesting that the Board direct staff to create a Kindergarten Early Enrollment Board Policy that it will consider for adoption at a future meeting.
