Shocked

I am shocked that the Indy Star online doesn't appear to be running any stories on Indianapolis Public Schools enrolling all its kindergarten students in full-day classes for next year. Every year full-day Kindergarten makes the news here because many parents want it but IPS hasn't been able to afford it. IPS says that the benefits are worth the $9 million cost of the program. They have aparently been able to reallocate some funds to provide the all day option this year. (And yes, for those of you who prefer half-day Kindergarten, it will still be an option. Apparently you will now have to sign a waiver to register your child for the shorter day and promise that you will make up the time at home. That floors me since Kindergarten isn't even required in Indiana!)
