New Jersey District Votes To Reverse Kindergarten Age Cutoff Decision

New Jersey's Daily Record (10/26, Roman) reported, "The Mount Olive [NJ] Board of Education voted unanimously Monday night to return a revised July 1 kindergarten cutoff date to the original Oct. 1 policy, following months of complaints from parents angry about the fiscally motivated policy change." According to the Daily Record, the original policy "was expected to affect about 60 children and save the district about $780,000 over the course of several years."
