This bill changes the kindergarten enrollment eligibility cutoff date from September 1st to August 1st, meaning children must turn five by August 1st instead of September 1st to enroll in kindergarten that school year. The change makes South Dakota's kindergarten eligibility requirement earlier in the year, which could delay enrollment for some children who turn five between August 1st and September 1st.
