In a 6-3 vote, the Council Rock School Board voted to approve implementation of full-day kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year. District administrators and board members spent the past six months researching full-day kindergarten and its impact on the community. They held a public forum, issued a community interest survey and visited nearby districts with full-day kindergarten programs. School board members who supported the move to full-day kindergarten did so based on “overwhelmingly positive feedback.” The cost of implementation will be spread over a two-year cycle. The school district plans to partner with local universities and colleges to begin the hiring process early for the roughly 33 teachers and staff members who will need to be hired.
