Polis Makes Case For Full-Day Kindergarten

KEN LUND / FLICKR

Gov. Jared Polis presented his budget request to state lawmakers Wednesday.
The biggest ask is for his top priority, free full-day kindergarten throughout Colorado, estimated to cost about $227 million. Colorado Public Radio's Bente Birkeland reports for KDNK.

Bente Birkeland has been reporting on state legislative issues for KUNC and Rocky Mountain Community Radio since 2006. Originally, from Minnesota, Bente likes to hike and ski in her spare time. She keeps track of state politics throughout the year but is especially busy during the annual legislative session from January through early May.
