HB 17-1042
signedIncreasing Funding For Full-day Kindergarten
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedHouse Bill 17-1042, which has now been signed into law, increases funding for full-day kindergarten in Colorado. Currently, the state only partially funds kindergarten as a half-day program with some additional support. This bill doubles that extra funding, allowing schools to provide more resources and potentially expanding access to full-day kindergarten programs. The change applies starting from the 2017-2018 school year and continues each year after. This means Colorado's public schools will have more money to offer extended learning opportunities for kindergarteners across the state.
Official Summary
Under existing law, the 'Public School Finance Act of 1994' funds kindergarten students as half-day pupils plus the supplemental kindergarten enrollment, which is an additional .08 of a full-day pupil. The bill increases the supplemental kindergarten enrollment for the 2017-18 budget year and each budget year thereafter to .16 of a full-day pupil.
