Southwest Riverside Schools Kickoff 'Transitional Kindergarten' Program

A new California law requires that children be 5 before entering kindergarten—forcing schools to create a "transitional" program.

Southwest Riverside schools are offering a "transitional kindergarten" program this year despite budget cuts, according to PE.com.

The program is offered for students who are not yet 5 years old by Nov. 2—a state requirement, according to the report. 

This year, 90 students are enrolled in the program in the Temecula Valley Unified District and 130 students in the Murrieta Valley Unified School District. Lake Elsinore Unified School District "combined its transitional and regular kindergartens" and it has an enrollment of 130 students, according to PE.com.

Hey Maggie, I don't get a chance to talk to the help desk but the ad has gone away for now. I justRead More made a comment on one of Carl Petersons blogs and now the comment has disappeared and no trace of it in my comment history. Are comments still pending proof reading before they post? Was it taken down by the blog author? I realize you guys have made a lot of changes so I'm still not sure if there are bugs being worked out or if some thing else is going on. Any help would be appreciated.
