Sen. Kamala Harris wants to 'modernize' the school schedule, and is introducing a bill that would mean kids are at school from about 8-6.
Key Points
The bill targets low-income and working families who can't afford to pay for child care in between the time a student finishes with school and a parent returns home from work. The bill proposes that the grant money go to extracurricular activities like electives in "music, arts, athletics, writing and engineering," Harris' senate office told CNBC. The extra time can also go toward dance and theater programs, among other enrichment activities, the office said. but it leaves the scheduling of the day open to school administrators.
