Children in California will be required to complete a full year of kindergarten before starting their first year of elementary school under a bill that has passed the legislature. Proponents say SB70 would affect the roughly five percent of California children who fail to attend kindergarten. The bill reportedly only affects public-school students. Officials say the bill still needs the governor’s signature to become law.
