Board approves five-day 4K at all South Milwaukee elementary schools
Summary
The School District of South Milwaukee board voted unanimously Jan. 8 to make four‑year‑old kindergarten a five‑day program at all elementary schools beginning in the 2025–26 school year, a change supporters said will increase instructional time for young learners.
Board member DeFord moved and Board member Hintz seconded a proposal to expand four‑year‑old kindergarten to five days per week at all elementary schools, effective with the 2025–26 school year. "Moved by DeFord and seconded by Hintz that the Board approve the adoption of five day four‑year‑old kindergarten at all elementary schools, effective with the 2025-26 school year," the record shows. All members voted aye by roll call; the motion carried 6‑0.
Board members framed the change as a classroom‑time and access issue for early learners. Superintendent Roemer noted in her report that 4K enrollment begins Monday, signaling an expected rollout and registration process tied to the expanded schedule. The board did not record conditions or contingencies attached to the vote in the meeting excerpt.
