The Kindergarten Readiness Support Team, in response to stakeholder feedback, has made the decision to allow a school district or facility that that would like to enter data and participate, but their teachers are unavailable, the facility can skip the teacher survey section of the data entry and still be considered to have completed and application. Although the teacher survey section is important, we understand that in this first year it could be prohibitive and we don’t want participants to feel they must complete that section to enter the system.
