Just a few school districts nationwide have no public kindergarten and they're all in New Hampshire. We'll look at why the Granite State has resisted mandatory kindergarten and now a new, major push to change that. Laura will be joined by Fred Bramante, state Board of Education member, and Caroline Butler, principal of Maplewood Elementary in Somersworth. We will also hear from Bud Hawkins, chair of the Derry School Board.
