Huntington UFSD has decided to restore Full-day K in September, after having reduced to half-day K in 2011.
Their budget as proposed will be within the tax cap limits.
Miller Place is proposing to start Full-day K for the first time in September, pending passage of their budget in May.
Also pending passage of their budget in May, Floral Park-Bellerose is proposing to extend their half-day kindergarten program from 2-1/2 hours to 4-1/4 hours (not meeting the State minimum of 5 hours for "Full-day K", or the transition aid that goes with full-day kindergarten).
Presuming that all 3 districts plans are fulfilled, then only East Meadow will bare the stigma of still having an old-school "half-day" kindergarten on Long Island.
Wantagh is in a good place with our Full-day K.

We should all be proud.
I am.
