Full-Day Kindergarten in District 34?

School board hears options on how to expand program in Glenview.

Glenview School District 34 officials are mulling the possibility of implementing a full-day kindergarten option as early as the 2017-18 school year.

Committee members presented four conceptual options to school board members last week with information on the needed increased space and staffing needed to implement the program district-wide, according to the Glenview Journal.

The cost of the program could be anywhere between $3.3 million and $21 million depending on which option is selected.
