Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the School Code. Beginning with the 2006-2007 school year, lowers the compulsory school age from 7 years to 5 years; makes a related change. Beginning with the 2006-2007 school year, requires all school districts to establish kindergarten for the instruction of children who are 5 years of age or older.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds any child attending a non-profit or for-profit child care center where children are taught the branches of education taught to children of corresponding age and grade in the public schools and where the instruction of the child in the branches of education is in the English language to the list of children who are not required to attend the public schools. Beginning with the 2006-2007 school year, provides for an exception to the compulsory school age provision for any child who has not reached the age of 6 years by September 1 and whose parent or guardian notifies the school board that he or she does not wish the child to attend school until the following school year because the child, in the opinion of the parent or guardian, is not mentally, physically, or emotionally prepared to attend school. Provides that in such cases, the child's attendance may be delayed for one school year.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that the non-profit or for-profit child care center where children are taught the branches of education taught to children of corresponding age and grade in the public schools and where the instruction of the child in the branches of education is in the English language must be a non-profit or for-profit child care center that provides kindergarten. In the exception to the compulsory school age provision, provides that a child's attendance may be delayed for one school year for any child who has not reached the age of 7 years (rather than 6 years) by September 1 and whose parent or guardian notifies the school district or the school at which the child would be enrolled (rather than the school board) that he or she does not wish the child to attend school until the following school year because the child, in the opinion of the parent or guardian, is not mentally, physically, or emotionally prepared to attend school.
