Potential impact ofProposed MandatoryKindergarten
 
General Implications ofProposal
Mandatory Kindergarten would lead to an estimatedaddition of 3,000-6,000 students in the NYC public schools(NYT, 3/21/12);
When DOE closed ACS daycare centers in 2010, 3,000more Kindergarten students entered the system;
IBO cites this development as a major contribution to largeincreases in Kindergarten class sizes;
Share of Kindergarten students in classes over thecontractual limit of 25 increased from 6.6% to 7.9%, mainlydriven by schools in areas where daycare centers wereclosed.
 
Implications for Existing Pre-K Seats
Space crunch induced by influx of additionalKindergarten students could produce an increased lossof Pre-K seats
This occurs during a time of rising demand for Pre-K:28,815 applications in 2011 v. 25,487 in 2010
In 2011, only 68% applicants were admitted to Pre-K, adrop from 72%; over 9,000 children rejected
This year the number of Pre-K seats in DOE buildingsdropped to lowest level since 2006
