Introduced First Reading Assembly Referred to AED
Summary
The bill obligates every elementary‑grade school district to establish a free, full‑day preschool program for resident three‑ and four‑year‑old children by the start of the 2029‑2030 school year, or to partner with an adjacent district through a sending‑receiving agreement. Districts must submit a detailed plan to the Commissioner of Education by June 30 2027, and those that create a program become eligible for state aid. The measure expands early‑education access and clarifies tuition and residency rules for preschool attendance.
