Half-day Kindergarten Amendments

HB 568 requires Utah school districts to offer a half-day kindergarten class at every school, removing the prior requirement that such classes be provided only upon parental request. The bill allows districts to adjust class offerings if half-day enrollment falls below 18 students per school and mandates that districts inform parents about the half-day option during registration. It also adds new requirements for kindergarten toilet training, including parental assurances and support services for students not yet toilet-trained, effective 2024-2025. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, with no new state funding required.
