====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== FPM Alert UPDATE: AB 2203 - 5 Year-Old Compulsory Education Please be alert, as we may need your help. Joint Legislative Alert--May 11, 2012 From: Mike Smith, HSLDA and Roy Hanson, Family Protection Ministries Bill: AB 2203 (as amended 4/24/12) 5-Year-Old Compulsory Education Author: State Assembly Member V. Manuel Perez Position: Strongly Oppose Thank you for your important phone calls! Status: The Assembly Appropriations Committee decided on May 9th to postpone the final committee vote on AB 2203 until near the end of May. We will keep you updated as further information becomes available. Please be alert, as we may need your help again in the near future. Summary of Concern AB 2203 would lower the compulsory education age from 6 to 5 years of age, in effect making kindergarten mandatory. Many children, especially boys, will experience adverse effects for a long period of time from being forced into a formal education program at age five. This critical education decision must remain with the parents. AB 2203 also would take another incremental step toward forcing a mandatory state-licensed preschool program for all 3 and 4 year-olds. Action Items No action is needed at this time. A big thank you to those who contacted the Assembly expressing your opposition to the bill. Permission is given to forward this Alert Update unaltered to your friends, church, school, and group.
