More on Kindergarten
In the past few weeks there have been numerous negative comments regarding the Hudson School Board’s decision to drop its lawsuit against the state’s mandating of kindergarten, including one memorable comment that the School Board “folded like wet crepes.” Actually, the School Board DID fold, after Judge Barry of the Hillsborough Superior Court denied our request for an injunction. I think it is mportant to provide additional information to the public about the decisions the School Board has made over the past year or so.

School Board Kindergarten Updates
School Board Approves the Purchase of Portables
During the Hudson School Board meeting on April 15, 2009, the School Board authorized the Superintendent to procure the appropriate numbers of 1000 square foot portables with bathrooms, necessary to accommodate kindergarten enrollment. The Superintendent will discuss with Department of Education Officials if the district should purchase portables this year to accommodate the potential for increased enrollment for 2010 or if the district will have the chance to add additional portables in following years. The current configuration would have the district install 1 double portable at both Nottingham West School and Hills Garrison School to accommodate the increased student enrollment from kindergarten.
School Board Approves Kindergarten Admission Policy
The Hudson School Board approved policy 4.2 (f) Kindergarten Admission last night during their meeting. The policy stipulates that students must turn five before September 30th with no exception. Included in the policy is the provision that if students do not attend kindergarten, they must be six before September 30 before enrolling in firrst grade.
Kindergarten Class Size
The Hudson School Board approved a provision that if class size exceeds 15 students in a kindergarten classroom, the class will be provided the additional support of a paraprofessional to support instruction.
