MY CHILD WILL TURN FIVE SHORTLY AFTER SEPTEMBER 1. CAN HE/SHE GO TO KINDERGARTEN INSTEAD OF PREK4?
Posted by:
TEA and Texas public schools are governed by the Texas Education Code (TEC). A child must be at least five years of age on September 1 of the school year. A student younger than five years of age is entitled to the benefits of the Foundation School Program (i.e. kindergarten) if: (1) the student performs satisfactorily on the assessment instrument administered under Section 39.023(a) to students in the third grade; and (2) the district has adopted a policy for admitting students younger than five years of age.
