Kindergarten Readiness Act (SB 1381) - SB 1381 changes California's kindergarten entry date from Dec. 2 to Sept. 1 so children enter kindergarten at age 5. This legislation will phase in the new age requirement by moving the cutoff date one month per year for three years, beginning in 2012. The entry date change and transitional kindergarten would be fully implemented in school districts across the state by the 2014-15 school year.
