State-Funded Full-Day Kindergarten in Washington
Determination of eligibility for state-funded full-day kindergarten is based on an individual school’s poverty percentage from the prior school year. Schools receiving full-day kindergarten program support must agree to certain conditions, including providing experiences in science, social studies, arts, health and physical education, and a world language other than English.
Over 200 Washington schools are state-funded for full-day kindergarten:
Funding for state-funded full-day kindergarten in 2012–13 is increased from 21% of kindergarten students in 2011-12 to 22% in 2012-13. However, based on current enrollments, it is projected that existing schools will enroll 22% of kindergarten students. As a result, no new schools are scheduled to be added for the 2012-13 school year.
