Why Transitional Kindergarten?
State law now requires school districts to offer Transitional Kindergarten, or an extra year of kindergarten, giving students two years to develop the essential skills to excel academically and socially in elementary school. Research suggests that starting kindergarten at an older age can boost children’s test scores, and such students are less likely to be retained or placed in special education.
The law affects the age eligibility requirements for both regular kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten. -
