Click on the post for the op ed piece in the Janesville Gazette today. In the last sentence, the writer says that both Janesville and Evansville would be wise to implement 4K if such a program could be implemented without further harming their financial situation.
Question for the day? What world is the Janesville Op Ed writer living in? The 4k program is opposed by over 90% of residents in Evansville. The program would be an additional burden on the property tax, a fact that is admitted by Dist. Supr. Heidi Carvin. The target for such a program was vague in the study presented by the district. Further, in remarks by Sara Tortamasi of Evansville, a child development specialist, the "level playing field" notion presented by the proponents is not a valid objective, since there is a natural variation in kindergarten that makes for the very healthy process of growth and excitement of the grade itself.
So--You make the call.
