Confusion over Indiana full-day kindergarten

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Many parents in Indiana are confused about the state's funding for full-day kindergarten.

Governor Mitch Daniels recently announced there was enough money to fully fund it.  Some parents thought that meant the state would pay for their children's schooling -- but that is not the case.

Daniels was actually referring to the full-day kindergarten fund that will be used to make full-day kindergarten available in school districts that previously could not afford it.

The amount of funding each school district receives in 2012 will depend on the number of students enrolled.
