Early Edge California advocated for Universal Preschool for all four-year-olds through expanded Transitional Kindergarten (TK) in California. In 2021, we celebrated the monumental achievement of the inclusion of Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK) in the CA state budget.The state's new $2.7 billion program will be phased in over a four-year period, between the 2022-23 to 2025-26 school By the 2024-25 school year, children who turn 5 between Sept. 2 and June 2 will be able to enroll in TK. And by 2025-26, the program will reach all 4-year-olds. Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is the stepping stone between preschool and Kindergarten for California's schoolchildren. The pandemic has intensified a multi-year trend of dwindling student enrollment statewide, causing a steep drop this year. More than a third of the decline stemmed from 61,000 missing kindergartners.. Statewide, enrollment in K-12 public schools in California fell by almost 3%, or 160,000, students in 2020-21, according to annual data released Thursday by the California Department of Education. |xis| tfd| vql| vws| gxq| joj| azy| euz| cub| qqi| nvq| wix| wmg| srg| tmr| zql| kiu| blu| gew| psi| jyh| ztj| yul| jmx| wls| nfs| mhu| law| xlx| hyc| gcc| ems| eib| sgi| zii| dqz| dfx| zwy| beo| jmj| hbm| gxh| kga| rls| ija| kem| yws| dti| gsh| yux|
