Title: Proposal for Restoration of State Funding for Full-Day Kindergarten in Public Schools to the 2024 Pima County Legislative Agenda Discussion/Direction/Action: Proposing to add restoration of state funding for full-day kindergarten in public schools statewide to the 2024 Pima County Legislative Agenda. The Legislature cut state funding back to only half-day kindergarten coverage in 2010. Public school districts must pay the other half since that action took place. If full state funding were restored, school districts would more easily be able to increase funding for the Pima Early Education Program. (District 5)
