SB 452 - This act establishes a pilot program of urban early
compulsory school attendance in the Kansas City Missouri School
District. In that district, the compulsory attendance age would
be lowered to age 5 years. The program establishes the same
parental responsibilities, process for exceptions and penalties
as are currently provided statewide for compulsory attendance of
children ages 7 to 16 years. The school board shall report to
the Commissioner of Education, no later than December 1, 2001, on
the effectiveness of the pilot program.
