Can a district deny entrance to an age eligible child because there is a concern about the childs “readiness”?
No. State statues clearly define that age is the only criteria required for entrance into kindergarten and first grade. The district is responsible for providing a welcoming environment for all age-eligible children and their families through curriculum adaptation, teacher placement options, consultation with school specialists, and referrals for further evaluations.
