Cash-strapped school districts are looking hard at whether they will be able to continue to afford all-day kindergarten.
The state's per-pupil funding only supports half-day programs, but districts with high numbers of poor or at-risk students underwrite full-day programs with money targeted at those students.
More affluent suburban districts often ask local taxpayers or parents of kindergartners to make up the difference.
But with the recession slashing budgets, the full-day kindergarten programs are under the magnifying glass.
