Parents of children set to enter kindergarten in the fall could run into roadblocks due to a recently approved state law. The law standardizes the cutoff date for kindergarten enrollment in public schools across the state. Before, school districts could pick their cutoff dates as either Aug. 1 or Sept. 30.

Students must now be five years old by the first day of school to start kindergarten. CMSD hasn’t yet set a start date for next school year.
