GEN: studies on Kindergarten age

[tunafish <tunas3@BCN.NET>]

Greetings!  My home school district is considering lowering their
kindergarten enrollment age to align with surrounding districts in order
stop school choicing out.  I am totally against this (as a teacher who
is in a surrounding district and feels MANY kindergartners are not ready
for it).  I checked ERIC for supporting documents and come up with one
citation to yet see.  Does anyone out there know of any studies
regarding this??? Many thanks in advance...
