A Senate resolution to combine state education boards would also lower the age that a child must enter kindergarten to 6 years old. Currently, most children begin kindergarten as young 5 years old and have until they turn 7 to begin school. The resolution covers public, private, parochial, parish schools, or full-time equivalent, which opens up the possibility of home schools as well. Funding would also be increased for investigating neglected children who have not begun school. The resolution must be approved by the House and then by voters on the November ballot before becoming law.
