Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/10-22.18e) creates the Full-Day Kindergarten Task Force for the purpose of conducting a statewide audit to inform the planning and implementation of full-day kindergarten. The task force may recommend that the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) consider an additional criterion when granting a waiver to the establishment of full-day kindergarten for two additional years under 105 ILCS 10-22.18(b). The task force, in addition to identifying an additional criterion, also must recommend a means of ranking "… [a] school district … in the top 25% of capital funding need by the Full-Day Kindergarten Task Force." To these ends, the Full-Day Kindergarten Task Force met five times, beginning on November 27, 2023. There are two required reports that the task force must submit to the General Assembly and Office of the Governor. The first, an interim report, must be submitted no later than June 30, 2024. The final report must be submitted no later than January 31, 2025. The work of the task force members in the meetings of November 27, 2023; January 17, 2024; and March 27, 2024, included that they familiarize themselves with their assignment and identify data and a means to collect it to inform the task force's collective considerations. Task force members identified benefits and challenges to the implementation of the full-day kindergarten requirement. Based upon these ideas, a survey was developed and shared with task force members so they could provide feedback. The survey then was administrated during April and May 2024 with districts that are not currently offering full-day programming. They were asked to provide information pertaining to classroom space and availability of land to meet the requirements of PA 103-0894, among other questions. This information will inform the task force as it develops its recommendations. Data submitted by respondents suggests that space, staffing, and costs; the uncertainties tied to available and assignable licensed staff; student enrollment over time; and sustainability in relation to developing and implementing high-quality programming are among the realities the task force must keep in mind as it engages in its work. At the June 25, 2024 meeting, task force members identified additional areas of inquiry based upon the survey data in the development of recommendations for the final report.
