Florida law specifies that in order for a public kindergarten student to be considered a full-time student, he or she must receive a minimum of 720 net hours of instruction or four hours per day, based on 180 school days [Section 1011.61, Definition, Florida Statutes]. Florida school districts may offer a full day of instruction to kindergarten students and the decision to do so is locally approved by each district school board.
