ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Children in the Allentown School District could get an earlier start at learning if a new policy is passed to change the cutoff birthdate for kindergarten and first grade.
The school board voted Thursday night to advance two policy initiatives upon their first readings to the public. The board will vote on these initiatives on Thursday, June 22.
If passed, Policy 201 would change the cutoff birthdates for kindergarten and first-grade registration from Sept. 1 to Feb. 1 of the following year. This would allow children as young as 4 years and 7 months to enroll in kindergarten and children aged 5 years and 7 months to enroll in first grade.
