BATON ROUGE - Senator Cleo Fields (D- Baton Rouge) is scheduled to address the public regarding the passage of his mandatory Kindergarten Bill, SB 10, during a Tuesday morning press conference.

The law goes into effect at the start of the 2022-2023 school year.

During Tuesday's press conference, Senator Fields will explain how the new law complements Louisiana's goal of providing quality public education opportunities to all local children.

The conference begins at 10 a.m. and will take place at Capitol Elementary on Gus Young Avenue.
