Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday vetoed Senate Bill 70, saying it had a 'laudable' intent but would cost California up to $268 million a year.
A bill approved by the state Senate would require children to complete kindergarten before entering first grade, beginning in the 2024-25 school year.reiterated that learning for the state’s youngest students is critical.
Senate Bill 70, written by state Sen. Susan Rubio , would have required children to complete a year of kindergarten before entering first grade, beginning in the 2024-25 school year. “During the pandemic, parents had to make tough family decisions and for some, this led to keeping their kids out of traditional kindergarten programs. Kids from low-income communities and kids who are bilingual were particularly impacted by learning loss experienced as a result of COVID,” said Patricia Lozano, executive director of Early Edge California, which supported the bill.
SB 70 is the latest in a string of bills that Newsom has vetoed, warning of lower-than-expected state revenue.
