California legislators are considering a bill that would make kindergarten mandatory for children.

Senate Bill 767—which would require children to have completed one year of kindergarten before being admitted into first grade, beginning with the 2024–25 school year—is set for a May 18 hearing before the Senate Appropriations Committee.
