School Board Meets Tonight -- Kindergarten Naps on Agenda

Here's a handy link to the School Board's meeting agenda for tonight.

Among the items up for discussion and vote on the rather lengthy agenda is the length of the Kindergarten day.

Moving the Kindergarten day from the current minimum mandated time of 4 hours to a new mandate of 6.5 hours will mean Kindergarten students will now be in school long enough to warrant a nap and a snack break.

Teachers have indicated that they have significant concerns about this approach, and tonight's meeting may demonstrate whether or not those concerns were heard.
