The Interstate Compact Supports Transitioning Military Dependent Students
Moving back to the states ? As mobile military students move through various curricula , graduation requirements , and school systems they can suffer academically and socially . This is finally a front burner issue with many school districts in the states .
All 50 states and several territories have signed an interstate compact that provides support to transitioning military families . The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children provides state commitment in support of transitioning military children in the areas of Enrollment , Eligibility , & Graduation .
The Department of Defense Education Activity ( DODEA ) is not a state and therefore cannot become a signatory , however it has pledged to meet the expectations laid out in the compact and has signed an MOA with the DOD to do so .
The Military Interstate Children ’ s Compact Commission ( MIC3 ) has established a website to keep military families abreast of updates and how they can rely upon the compact provisions to support their transitioning students .
