SB 550 Legislative Alert. SB550—5 Year-Old Compulsory Education>--snip:
CHN very much appreciates the continued efforts of Family Protection Ministries regarding legislative matters in California, and we are sharing information that they sent to us earlier today, Monday, August 9th. This FPM alert has gone out to their members, and CHN believes that it contains information that many of our members will want to know as well so that they may respond accordingly. The alert regards Bill: SB 550 and concerns dropping compulsory education from age 6 to age 5, and this is something that CHN and others have successfully fought for many years.
--end snip.
There have been other rumblings, non-ending, to lower the age of compulsory ed.
Lowering the "compulsory" age to 5 is considered "PRESCHOOL".
I get their email weekly, thank you, along with special alerts. I knew about SB 550, but that is kindergarten, not-preschool. It was defeated as your link notes. I had called my state senator about it, as well as a Senator in a neighboring district that shares the same zip code. I believe I also wrote a letter.
There have been other rumblings, non-ending, to lower the age of compulsory ed.
Rumblings are not bills. Both HSLDA and CHN are quite diligent, which is why we belong to both. There has been no such bill as you implied.
Lowering the "compulsory" age to 5 is considered "PRESCHOOL".
I have lived in California all my life and have never once seen kindergarten referred to as "pre-school," which, to my knowledge, has been classified as for children four and under.
It's not a big deal. You were simply mistaken, again.
