Dear Editor:
Recently, Assemblyman Charles D. Mainor introduced a bill that would require kindergarten to become a mandatory requirement in the State of New Jersey. This bill is extremely important especially for children living in the 31st Legislative District which is primarily urban. Children living in urban settings need as much resources possible to succeed in life and Assemblyman Mainor is going to the root of the problem.
A child needs a good quality education and it primarily starts in kindergarten. I am urging the Assembly to vote in favor of this bill. Next, the Senate to do the same. This is not a Democrat nor Republican bill. It is a bill to invest into our children’s future. Make the right choice!
