Local control and parental prerogative, two hallmarks of the state’s new transitional kindergarten program, led to large variations in enrollment rates across the largest school districts in the state during the first year the program was available, according to an EdSource survey.
Transitional kindergarten was offered for the first time in nearly every school district during the 2012-13 school year. More than 39,000 students enrolled in transitional kindergarten statewide, according to the first in a series of reports on the new grade level published by the American Institutes of Research (AIR).
