East Greenwich Public Schools are in the midst of exploring all day kindergarten, having established an ad-hoc committee in April to study the feasibility of offering it at Frenchtown and Meadowbrook Elementary Schools.

Now, the school district is asking for the input from parents in a 20-question survey.
