====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JOINT LEGISLATIVE ALERT UPDATE- April 20, 2012 From: Mike Smith -- HSLDA and Roy Hanson -- Family Protection Ministries ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill: AB 1772 (as amended 4/11/12) - Mandatory Kindergarten Author: State Assemblymember Joan Buchanan Position: Strongly OPPOSE Thank you for your important phone calls! Status: AB 1772 passed the Assembly Education Committee on April 18. The bill is now in the Assembly Appropriations Committee waiting to be assigned a hearing date. Please be watching for our next alert, as we will need your help in the near future. Below is the record of the vote taken at the Education Committee hearing: Ayes 7 - Noes 4: Pass Ayes Julia Brownley (D) Tom Ammiano (D) Joan Buchanan (D) Betsy Butler (D) Wilmer Amina Carter (D) Mike Eng (D) Das Williams (D) Noes Chris Norby (R) Shannon Grove (R) Linda Halderman (R) Donald Wagner (R) Summary of Concern: AB 1772 would make kindergarten mandatory before taking the first grade, forcing one more year to a child's education. AB 1772, as recently amended, does indirectly what the last version of this bill did directly - that is to have "everyone" starting school at 5 years of age. There are serious problems with this new proposed legislation that are outlined in our previous AB 1772 Action Alert, which you can read on our website at http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=14453 . No action is needed at this time. We will follow up with another email action alert when the next action is needed. A big thanks to those who contacted the Assembly expressing your opposition to the bill.
