I fully agree with this. My daughter turns 5 on September 3rd. She just started her third year of preschool. She should be in kindergarten this year with her friends.

My daughter turns 5 on September 29 and is so ready for kindergarten. Under current laws we are forced to wait a year or pay for a private school.

Utah is the only state I know of that does not allow exemptions for late birthday.

I would like the deadline to extend to Dec. 1. Because there are children who should be in kindergarten who have to wait a year. I think testing is a good idea!

As an educator and a parent, I know the effects of holding back a child simply because of his or her age. My daughter is an example of this. She is now entering high school. By the time she graduates, she will be 19. Not because she had to be held back or failed a year. The only reason is due to her birthday not meeting the cut off date. There should be a baseline criteria for social and academic skills. If the child meets those, age shouldn't be the bottom line deciding factor. Thank you.
Extend the date to the end of the calendar year!
