For Hartford Kindergartners: Hartford Plans Longer School Year For Some Kindergartners - Hartford Courant: "Superintendent Christina Kishimoto believes they need even more time.
Starting this summer, Kishimoto wants all children entering kindergarten at the city's lowest-performing schools to have an 11-month school year. That means the tearful first day of class would be July 30.
The kindergartners would remain in school through Aug. 17, and then return for the districtwide 2012-13 opening day on Aug. 28, according to plans recently outlined to the city school board.
The state Department of Education is not aware of other Connecticut school systems that have taken this approach with kindergarten, department spokesman Mark Linabury said."
