Alabama MIC3 2024-25 End of the Year Report

Submitted by Dr. Douglas L. Ragland, Alabama Commissioner

There have been excellent accomplishments during the 2024-25 year in the State of Alabama in

relation to MIC3 and Military Families in general, Personal Achievements of State Council

Members, as well as other governmental issues in our state, and they are as follows:

•Congratulations go out to The Adjutant General, Major General of the National Guard,

David Pritchett, who was confirmed by the United States Senate in Washington D.C. on

July 27, 2024, and a Promotional Ceremony for The Adjutant General, Major General

David Pritchett was held by Governor Kay Ivey on August 14, 2024. Major General

David Pritchett serves on our Alabama State Council and he is serving in his second year

since his inaugural appointment in January 2023.

•As Commissioner for the State of Alabama, it was indeed a blessing to be selected to do a

State Spotlight PowerPoint Presentation for Alabama at the 2024 MIC3 Annual Business

Meeting where I had the opportunity to present Best Practices in implementing the

Military Interstate Children’s Compact, as well as highlight our leaders in our state such

as our Governor, State Legislature, State Superintendent of Education, State Council

including School Liaisons From Maxwell Air Force Base, Redstone Arsenal, Fort

Novosel, and Anniston Army Depot, and stakeholders such as Military Child Education

Coalition, Alabama High School Athletic Association Higher Education Institutions,

Military Family Life Counselors, and the like. We received high praise from Fellow

Commissioners, and others attending the conference including School Liaison, Ex-

Officio Representatives, and others for what we are doing in the State of Alabama for our

Military Families, led by our Governor, Legislature, State Superintendent, and our

illustrious and fabulous State Council.

•The State Spotlight PowerPoint Presentation for Alabama can be seen on the MIC3.NET

Website by clicking on the 2024 ABM Tab, and then clicking on2024 ABM Day 1

Presentations. Also in December 2024, I was asked by MIC3 National Office to do a

Video and it is currently on the MIC3.net Website as well. To see this video you click on

the Resources Tab, click on Webinars and Training, click on Compact Training Videos,

and then click on Implementing the Compact. State Spotlight Videos for 2025 are

reflected on this page, and of course you will see Alabama with a video that is 26 minutes

and 15 seconds in length. Alabama has the distinction of having the longest timed video

of all the videos filmed for 2024 and 2025.

•We also had the surprise and honor of seeing one of our own State Council Members,

Robert Richert, School Liaison Officer for Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery,

Alabama recognized in one of the slide shows for the School Liaisons: Supporting

Families and Building Partnership Panel that was highlighted at the MIC3 Annual

Business Meeting. Also, it was great that we had Katherine Ganster, Robert’s Fellow

Return to Table of Contents

School Liaison Officer, at Maxwell Air Force Base in attendance at the MIC3 Annual

Business Meeting.

•Our State Superintendent of Education, Dr. Eric Mackey, is to be commended for his

unwavering support and sponsorship of MIC3 and our Alabama Council by serving as a

member of the State Council and paying our annual dues from his budget. Kudos go out

to him and Chief Financial Officer Arthur Watts for getting our dues payment to MIC 3

which was received on Friday, April 19, 2025, well before the June 30, 2025 Deadline

Our dues have always been on time and we thank Dr. Mackey for his tremendous

support.

•On a personal note I am extremely honored that Honorable Governor Kay Ivey appointed

me to serve on the Alabama Commission on Higher Education as the Commissioner

Representative for the 6th Congressional District Seat effective February 18, 2025, until

August 31, 2031, and I was successfully confirmed by the Alabama Senate in March

2025 to serve in this position as well.

•With this report being submitted on April 25, 2025, I am proud to say we have met our

requirements of all projects due by June 30, 2025, which include our Code of

Conduct/Conflict of Interest Policy, 2025 State Council Meeting, Code of Conduct and

Conflict of Interest Policy, and FY 2025 Dues Payment. Also as Alabama’s

Commissioner I have served on the MIC3 Compliance Committee and for the last 2

years, and I have had perfect attendance, and we certainly have made great strides in

ensuring compliance of all of our states, and making clear and customer friendly

recommendations to be implemented by the MIC3 Staff.

•Honorable Governor Kay Ivey, and the Alabama Legislature Approved the Choose Act

(Education Savings Act in the amount of $7,000.00 per family) with a 100 million Dollar

Budget in 2024, and January 3, 2025 applications were taken. Over 75, 000 Families

applied including Military Families. For first 2 years this Act will only be available to

Learning Disabilities and Active Duty Military Families in low performing School

Districts. After 2 Years all students will be eligible.

•Our Honorable Governor Kay Ivey continues to show her support for Military Families

by providing a Proclamation for Veterans Appreciation Month on November 7, 2024. I

have attached this proclamation to this email.

•The Honorable Governor Kay Ivey approved a Military Proclamation for Month of the

Military Child on April 10, 2025. I have attached the Proclamation to this email.

•We have made excellent strides in enhancing awareness of MIC3 in Alabama with our

School Liaison Officers participation in Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC) 360

Summits in enhancing the knowledge of educators regarding MIC 3 and the roles of our

School Liaison Officers in the transitional process of our Military Families in various

school systems.

•I am currently a member of the Legislative Appointed Alabama Purple Star Schools

Committee. This committee, along with the support of the Alabama State Superintendent

of Education have increased the number of Purple Star Schools to 322 as it stands for

2025. This committee met with Jennifer Holiday, Alabama Family Military

Liaison/American Heroes Welcome Initiative, on March 17, 2025,to discuss and select

the 2025 Alabama Purple Star School Designees based on the scoring of the Alabama

Department of Education via the Alabama Purple Star Scoring Rubric. Part of this

process included the Purple Star School Committee having access to the following

documents: (1) 2025 New Purple Star School List, 2025 Renewed Purple Star School

List, and the 2025 New Purple Star School Application Verification List. A Resolution

for the Creation of the Purple Star Committee created by the Alabama Legislature, and

the 2025 Purple Star Schools created by the Alabama State Board of Education are

included in attachments to this report.

•A total of 124 new schools were designated Purple Star School Status for 2025 and a

resolution from the Alabama State Board of Education was created honoring the 15

School Districts and 124 Schools, including Recognition of the Month of the Military

Child on April 10, 2025.

•A total of 76 schools were designated as Purple School Status in 2024.

•A total of 122 schools were designated Purple Star School Status in 2023.

•Major General Sheryl Gordon, Adjutant General for the Alabama National Guard, and

Member of the Alabama Council Retired Effective January 1, 2024.

•Brigadier General David Pritchett was hired on January 1, 2024, as the next Adjutant

General for the Alabama National Guard, and has accepted the role of serving on the

Alabama Council.

•We have successfully resolved all cases pertaining to our Military Families in Alabama

for 2024-25 by our School Liaison Officers, and Military Education Family Liaison.

Only one case actually came to the level where I had to get involved, and it was resolved

successfully.

The following report from Maxwell Air Force for Robert Richert and Katherine

Ganster, highlights excellent overall leadership and accomplishments pertaining to

MIC Issues, Non-MIC3 Issues, Legislative Actions, Purple Star Schools and

Community Events/ Partnerships:

SY 2024-2025 MIC3 State Commissioner’s Report – Maxwell AFB

MIC3 Issues

•Eligibility (SEC. 3.101.a. Eligibility for Transfer and Enrollment): Assisted a parent

with transferring credits from an unaccredited Louisiana private school to Spanish Fort

High School in Mobile, Alabama. The student will need to take validation tests for core

subjects. We contacted the private school for more information and sought guidance from

the public high school regarding non-accredited courses. We are attempting to contact the

public school counselor to ensure all options for this military family have been explored.

This case does not fall under a specific MIC3 article number.

•Eligibility (SEC. 6.102.b. Eligibility for Extracurricular Participation): Connected a

parent, recently transitioned from North Carolina, with the School Liaison Program

Manager (SLPM) for assistance with sports tryouts. The school and parent reached an

agreement allowing the student to try out.

•Eligibility (SEC. 5.101.a. Course Placement): A military member requested assistance

regarding his son's 11th-grade school transfer. The son transferred to an out-of-state

boarding school in January 2024. The boarding school stated the son needed to repeat

10th grade because the Alabama sending school did not award credit for courses

completed in the first semester of SY2023-2024. While the student took similar courses

in the second semester and passed all but English (which the parent agreed needed

repeating), the sending school could not award credit due to LEA policy. The SLPM

contacted the Holloman AFB School Liaison in New Mexico (receiving school's state)

for assistance. Both SLPM offices and the Alabama MIC3 Commissioner agree that

MIC3 SEC. 5.101 applies; however, the transfer was personal, not PCS-related, rendering

the compact provision unenforceable. Holloman AFB SLPM contacted the school,

requesting they accept the first-semester grades in the spirit of the compact. Update

(08/27/2024): Reviewing the Alabama Administrative Code revealed the sending school

could award the 0.5 credit needed. The sending school updated the student's record and

provided a copy to the receiving school. The student received credit and transitioned to

11th grade.

•Eligibility (SEC. 5.102.a. Educational Program Placement): The Montgomery Public

Schools (MPS) District Military Liaison contacted us regarding a family requesting

placement in a magnet program based on their participation in a similar program in

Nevada, citing state law. This refers to district policy, not state law. We consulted the

National MIC3, the State Commissioner, and the Nellis AFB SLPM. We provided the

family with information from MIC3, offered assistance with other school options, and

provided SY2025-2026 magnet program information.

•Eligibility (SEC. 3.101.a. Eligibility for Transfer and Enrollment): A parent requested

assistance regarding a recent interstate relocation. The local school was not accepting

previously earned high school credit for career preparedness and sign language. The

student's school-issued computer did not support the virtual platform for the current

world language course. Despite the student's attempts to resolve the issue with the school

counselor, the problem persisted. Reviewing the student's transcript and course

descriptions suggested a potential MIC3 issue. The SLPM advised the parent on

resolution options, including the chain of command. The parent requested our

engagement with the school/district. We emailed the district military liaison and school

principal, requesting assistance and informing them of the parent's concerns. Both

responded and advised the parent to contact the principal, who confirmed they would

contact the counselor. We encouraged the parent to contact the principal and will monitor

progress.

Non-MIC3 Issues

•Magnet School Application Deadlines: Military families receiving PCS orders in

spring/summer miss magnet school application deadlines (January 2025).

•Pre-K Enrollment Application Deadlines: Military families receiving PCS orders in

spring/summer miss Pre-K enrollment deadlines (March 2025).

•Absenteeism for International Families: Three international families received warning

notices regarding their children's unexcused absences, which are nearing the district's

limit. These families, residing in the area while the sponsoring military member attends

Air University at Maxwell AFB, have cited vacation and other reasons for the absences.

This pattern seems unique to our area and these families.

Legislation (We Are Following)

•HB61: Home school/Career and Technical Education access (50% - Passed House)

•HB234: School safety/Emergency response systems (50% - Passed House)

•HB96: National Signing Day excused absences (25% - Passed House)

•HB166: FOCUS Act/Wireless device restrictions (50% - Passed House)

•SB166: Ten Commandments display (25% - Read in Senate)

•SB59: Military medical records/Immunization (100% - Passed House/Senate)

•HJR22: Purple Star Schools Program expansion (0% - Received in House)

•HB65/81: Student cell phone use policies (25% - Pending House Education Policy)

Purple Star Schools.

In April 2025, 20 new schools and 106 renewals were designated as Purple Star Schools by the

Erica Lewis, School Liaison Officer for Redstone Arsenal, has displayed excellent leadership as

a School Liaison Officer at her base, respective schools, and in the community for 2024-25,

which is as follows:

•Redstone Arsenal welcomed COL Erin Eike as its new Garrison Commander on August

1, 2024. Over the past year, I have continued to build relationships with our military

families by providing workshops, resources, education, and advocacy. I have also

continued to strengthen partnerships with community stakeholders and education leaders

through continued partnerships and collaboration by participating in school and

community events, such as Impact Aid and Status of the State of the Schools, and Purple

Star Schools.

•I’ve consulted with MIC3 on a couple of issues regarding transfer of credits and

enrollment, but they were able to be resolved at the local level.

•SLO, along with the Redstone Arsenal Garrison Commander, COL Erin Eike participated

in the Impact Aid kickoff with our 3 local school districts (Huntsville City Schools,

Madison City Schools, and Madison County Schools) on October 17, 2024. Throughout

the campaign, information on Impact Aid was shared with RSA workforce and residents.

SLO also worked with local school districts to assist with any address verifications and

questions regarding Impact Aid. SLO was able to implement another successful year

(24-25) of programming for our Homeschool Students, where the Homeschoolers were

able to participate in fun and engaging activities to include archery, STEM activities, art,

activities at our MWR library, and sports. In order to provide more learning opportunities

to our Homeschool Students, partnerships were established with local community

stakeholders as well as tenant organizations on the installation to enhance the students’

learning through field trips and workshops provided at no cost to our Homeschool

Families. These experiences included a visit from NASA aerospace engineer, a field trip

to Burrit on the Mountain to explore the local history of Huntsville, and a presentation

from a local archaeologist! SLO coordinated with local schools to have over 32 people

from RSA tenant organizations participate in Read Across America. Volunteer readers

went to 12 different schools across 3 school districts to read to students on Dr. Seuss's

birthday. They shared stories and the importance of reading. SLO will hold the annual

Kindergarten Boot Camp for children in the Strong Beginnings program on May 8th.

Students will experience a simulation of a day in the life of a kindergarten student. Ms.

Nicole Thompson, Assistant Principal at Williams Elementary, will kick off the boot

camp with an encouraging talk about school safety, expectations, and how school is a fun

place to learn, grow, and make friends!

Kimberly Kozel, Department of Defense Military Representative, and School Liaison Officer,

Soldiers Services Center, Fort Novosel US Army has shown quality leadership at her base,

respective schools, and the community as follows:

•Developed a partnership Memorandum of Agreement with Enterprise City Schools for

afternoon bus transportation services from six Enterprise Elementary Schools to our CYS

School Age after school program each day. This agreement saved the Garrison over $80k

in service costs and has been an amazing program offering for our Fort Novosel Army

Families.

•Applied and received approval for an Exception to Policy with DoDEA Parker

Elementary School to continue to provide before and after school transportation from the

school each day to our Child and Youth Services School Age Program for SY 2024-2025.

•Participated in the Month of the Military Child Proclamation signings by city Mayors of

Dothan, Ozark and Enterprise in April 2025.

• Coordinated efforts to provide Enterprise City Schools with two Military Family Life

Counselors to provide support to nine schools in the district. The support has been well

received by school personnel and most of all offering awesome support to Military

Families in the district. Nothing but positive feedback has been received and support will

continue for the 24/25 school year.

Nyoka Johnson, CYS Coordinator Anniston Army Depot Department of Defense has

demonstrated quality leadership at her base, and community which is stated by Nyoka as

follows:

•Anniston Child Development Center and School Age received reaccreditation in 2024.

•We are doing several activities within the month of April to celebrate Month of the

Military Child.

ANNUAL REPORT

OF THE

ARKANSAS COUNCIL FOR MILITARY CHILDREN

TO THE GOVERNOR

AND SENATE AND HOUSE EDUCATION COMMITTEES

COVERING ACADEMIC YEAR 2024-2025

Return to Table of Contents

Statutory Requirements

Pursuant to the Arkansas Code Annotated (ACA) Section 6-28-204(f), the Arkansas Council for Military

Children (hereinafter the Council) hereby submits this report to the Governor of Arkansas and to the

Education Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Arkansas General Assembly.

This report covers the period from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. Because this Council is concerned

with the support of children of military families enrolled in Arkansas public schools, that time period is

referenced in this report as Academic Year 2024-2025, or AY 2024-2025.

ACA 6-28-204 requires this Council to report on the following areas (excerpted verbatim from ACA 6-28-

204(h):

(1) Information regarding the achievements of the State Council and public school districts regarding

the support provided to military families under this chapter;

(2) Details of the reports provided to the Military Interstate Children's Compact Commission (MIC3);

(3) The number of children of military families in each public school district transferring to or from

another state or federal education agency in the previous year;

(4) Summaries of cases elevated to the chair for counsel and assistance in resolving cases involving

the transition of children of military families that were elevated by military families, United States

Department of Defense officials; or Public school districts.

(5) Information regarding training that is provided to public school district personnel with respect to

this chapter

(6) Details regarding plans for future engagement efforts with uniformed services families under this

chapter; and

(7) Any other information deemed relevant by the Council.

The Council has also decided to submit this report to the Secretary of Education and the State Board of

Education and will submit this report to the MIC3 national office to satisfy the requirements of MIC3 Rule

2.102.

Executive Summary

The Council has enjoyed significant successes during the 2023-24 Academic Year. The Council has held

two forums for military families, with the highest number of participants yet. This enabled the council to

collect useful information about the needs of military families and to disseminate information regarding

Education Freedom Accounts (available to all military families during the 2024-25 academic year). The

Council has increased the number of Purple Star Schools statewide to 204. The survey of the needs of

military families which the Council conducted in the winter of 2025 yielded valuable information about the

ability of military families to meet basic needs and has resulted in one recommendation by the Council for

new legislation. The Council has expanded its outreach efforts by adding a non-voting advisor on school

choice and has merged the Military Family Forum Committee with the Outreach Committee to enhance

efficiency. The Council has created a Student Advisory Committee to receive direct input from high school

students whose parent or guardian is currently serving in the military and to give these students experience

serving with a state government council. Finally, the Council has created the Outstanding Military Scholar

Award, with the first winner being announced in April 2025.

I. Achievements of the State Council and Public School Districts.

A. Achievements of the State Council.

A.1. Student Advisory Committee. The Council successfully implemented the Student Advisory

Committee. Under this program juniors and seniors in high school may be selected to serve as non-voting

advisors to the Council. Student advisors attended meetings either in person, reported to the Council on

activities in their school districts to support children pf military families, participated in Council discussions

on how to support military families, and promoted activities in their schools to support children of military

families. The charter class of Student Advisors consisted of seniors Madison Williams (Bryant High

School) and Sonya Smith (Cabot High School) and junior Weston Arnett (Greenwood High School). The

Student Advisors’ addenda to this report are at Appendix A.

Applications to serve as Student Advisors during the 2025-26 academic year were accepted during the

month of April 2025. Mr. Arnett will continue to serve during AY 2025-26.

A.2. Military Family Forum.

The Council conducted two online forums:

August 27, 2024, 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, three families in attendance

January 28, 2025, 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, no families in attendance

A.3. Recognition Programs.

The Council has successfully implemented the Outstanding Military Scholar Award to recognize graduating

senior each year who is the child of a current or former member of the uniformed services of the United

States, including the National Guard. The winner is chosen through statewide competition based on

academic performance, extracurricular participation, leadership, and service to the community. The first

recipient of the award is Madison Williams (Bryant High School). Runners-up for the award are Elizabeth

Esteban (Cabot High School) and Javier Castro (Northside High School, Fort Smith). The Council wishes

to express its gratitude to the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education for providing a plaque and

to Camp Alliance, Inc. for providing a laptop computer as prizes for the winner.

A.4. Purple Star Schools.

The number of schools qualifying for Purple Star School status has increased from 175 to 204. A sortable

list of Arkansas Purple Star Schools is available at this link at this link on the Council web site. The

number of school districts qualifying for recognition as Purple Star School Districts has risen from 19 to

23. A sortable list of Arkansas Purple Star School Districts is available at this link on the Council web site.

A.5. Outreach and Training.

The Council has conducted ten online training sessions for district military education coordinators and

school military liaisons. Approximately 75 people received the training. The schedule of training sessions

is at Appendix B.

Subscriptions to the Council’s monthly e-newsletter have remained stable.

The Council has made use of X, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Samples of posts on social media to promote

Month of the Military Child with metrics are at Appendix C.

A.6. Survey. The survey of military families was open from December 19, 2024 through February 28,

2025. 301 responses were received. This was an increase of 18% from the previous survey. It is noteworthy

that DESE assisted with publicizing the current survey through use of a commissioner’s memo (CM 25-

039), whereas the previous year’s survey was not publicized through a CM. Results of the survey are

presented in Appendix D. The results indicate that a significant number of military families are

experiencing some difficulty in meeting basic survival needs such as food and healthcare, especially in the

enlisted ranks. Significantly, school districts with significant numbers of children of military families

enrolled reported very low rates of participation in the survey.

B. Achievements of Public School Districts.

B.1. Bryant School District.

• Sponsored a toy drive during Month of the Military Child to provide stuffed animals to the children of

deployed service members, collecting more than 50 stuffed animals

Compact Commission. The report cited the Arkansas Military Child School Transitions Act as a model for

other states to adopt and cited the Arkansas Council for Military Children as the means for implementing

appropriate support for children of military families. The report is at Appendix H.

VIII. Recommendations.

The survey of military families referenced in section _ above indicated that food insecurity is a problem for

19% of families responding to the survey. According to a report released by the U.S. Department of

Agriculture on January 8, 2025, Arkansas indicated a food insecurity prevalence of 18.9%, the highest in

the United States and an increase of more than two percentage points from last year’s report. Additionally,

information provided by the Military Family Advisory Network indicated that in 2023 (the most recent data

available), one in five military and veteran families were food insecure, rising to one in four among active

duty military families.

It is the recommendation of this Council that legislation be enacted to:

a) Require all public school districts, including charter schools, to develop and publish annually a

plan for addressing food insecurity among its student body.

b) Require the Arkansas National Guard Family Readiness Program to develop and implement a

plan for addressing food insecurity among Arkansas National Guard families.

Please note that this is the second consecutive year in which the Council submits this recommendation.

STUDENT ADVISOR REPORT

1st Congressional District

SONYA KSENIYA SMITH

Cabot High School, Grade 12

1. Accomplishments for Children of Military Families During 2024–25 Academic Year

• Founded the Military Children Club at Cabot High School; approved over winter break and

launched in January 2025.

• Hosted first meeting February 25, 2025, with guest speaker Mr. Dejesus, a counselor and military

child.

• Created and distributed outreach materials school-wide, reaching over 120 students.

• Conducted surveys to identify military-connected students—60% of 40 respondents identified as

military children.

• Built a safe space for students to discuss military life challenges and form community.

• Organized a Purple Up campaign for Month of the Military Child, including classroom visits and

school awareness events.

• Worked with school staff to improve understanding of military children’s needs.

2. Contribution to the Council

As a student advisor, I shared the experience of being a military child, especially with the

challenges of relocation and making new connections. I took the initiative in forming a club at my

school to support other military students, using what I learned from the council to guide how I

structured meetings, built outreach, and involved school leaders. I communicated feedback from

students at my school to the council and helped contribute ideas grounded in real student needs in

school. Having student advisors as part of the council is crucial for having real military student

insight to learn and manage plans.

3. Personal Growth from Council Service

Through my work with the council, I developed strong leadership and advocacy skills. I learned

how to take an idea—from a need I personally experienced—to a fully functioning support system

for others. I connected with students across the state and realized how many of us share the same

struggles and stories. Being a part of this council gave me the confidence to lead, speak up for

others, and believe in the power of student-led change.

4. Suggestions for Future Actions to Benefit Children of Military Families

a. Council-Level Suggestions:

• Launch a state-wide peer mentorship program for military students.

• Create an online community platform for military youth to share experiences.

• Host an annual summit or leadership workshop for military students.

• Share best practices and a guidebook for starting military support clubs.

• Encourage storytelling initiatives for military students to highlight diverse perspectives.

b. School & District-Level Suggestions:

• Train teachers to understand and support military student transitions.

• Identify military students during enrollment and offer them optional counselor check-ins.

• Host “welcome (Tour) groups” or ambassador programs for newly arrived military students.

• Provide visible celebration of Month of the Military Child with events and learning opportunities.

• Encourage principals to designate military student liaisons or faculty sponsors.

STUDENT ADVISOR REPORT

2nd Congressional District

MADISON WILLIAMS

Bryant High School, Grade 12

1. Accomplishments During the 2024-25 Academic Year

● Established Club for Supporting Military Families, effectively creating a safe and inclusive

space for children of military families at the high school

● Gained 21 members

● Put up 40 posters and flyers around the school advertising either the Month of the Military

Child, Purple Up Day, or the Stuffed Animal Drive, effectively spreading awareness about the

struggles of being a military child and what ways to get involved

● Stuffed Animal Drive began March 31, 2025, and went through April 11, 2025

○ Stuffed animals were donated by teachers and students (club members and non-members)

○ Stuffed animals were collected in the counselor’s office, the ROTC Building, and select

teacher classrooms

○ Over 50 stuffed animals were donated, and will be given to the children of deployed

servicemen

2. Contributions to the Council

Throughout my time as a student advisor for the Arkansas Council, I have been able to contribute

my unique perspective of what it means to be a military child that is currently enrolled in public

school and use this perspective to suggest achievable ways that the education system can better

support their military dependent students.

3. Personal Growth from Service on the Council

By being a student advisor for the Arkansas Council for Military Children, I have gained insight

and access to resources that have allowed me to make a difference in my own community. While

I personally knew that there was a gap in connections and community with other military

connected children like myself; the council exposed me to the struggles that military children,

across the state of Arkansas, deal with in their daily lives, and connected me with people who

could help me take action in Bryant.

4. Suggestions for Future Action to Benefit Children of Military Families

● Council should spread more awareness about the student advisor position so that all five

congressional districts have a student advisor on the council

● Encourage/Require all school districts to do a service project or assembly for month of the

military child

1. Accomplishments During the 2024-25 Academic Year

• Began working towards a school club for military children and/or people who want to support

them

• Hosted many activities that highlighted the students' and their families’ service

o Purple Up Day

o Veteran’s Breakfast Banquet

2. Contributions to the Council

While in the Arkansas Council for Military Children, I contributed primarily by giving my student

report to the council first in January, and now the final one in May. These presentations to the

councils have allowed them to see the work that schools all across the state are doing to benefit

the students of military families. I have also helped contribute to the organization through my

subcommittee I was placed on in August, the Strategic Planning Committee. The subcommittee

worked on draft amendments and other documents to help better support military children. I have

expressed my opinions on ideas the council was suggesting and have helped the adults better

understand how students are affected by being in a military family firsthand.

3. Personal Growth from Service on the Council

This council has helped me grow as a person more than I thought it would. I have learned how to

be a better communicator and speak in front of adults and my peers. The student reports allowed

me to practice my public speaking, and I am looking forward to continuing my practice in May. I

have also learned how to be organized with the meetings, reports, and other documents the council

requests. The support from the adults in the council has also shown me how to mentor and lead a

team. I believe that I have benefited the Arkansas Council for Military Children as a student

advisor, but more importantly, they have benefited me by helping me become a better leader.

4. Suggestions for Future Action to Benefit Children of Military Families

• More student advisors for the council

• Schools can host more fundraisers and/or activities for military families or students who want to support

those families

Appendix C: Month of the Military Child Facebook Page Samples and Metrics

The Outreach Committee (Chair: Jody Bergstrom) piloted a Facebook page for Month of the Military Child.

Next under are samples of graphics from the page and metrics of how many times the pages were opened

and viewed.

Appendix D: Survey of Military Families

Next following is the report of the Survey of Military Families conducted by the Council December 9,

2024 through February 28, 2025.

REPORT OF 2025 SURVEY OF MILITARY FAMILIES

The Arkansas Council for Military Children conducted an online survey of military families from

December 9, 2024 through February 28, 2025. (The original deadline of February 14, 2025 was

later extended to February 28, 2025.) The purpose of the survey was to assess the needs of military

families in Arkansas and to determine the general level of awareness of resources available to

military families.

The survey was publicized by the following means:

1. ADE Commissioner’s Memo COM-25-039, issued on December 9, 2024

2. The state’s network of District Military Education Coordinators

3. The DESE Engagement Unit’s monthly Engagement Advisory Group meetings in

December 2024 and January and February 2025

4. The Council’s monthly e-newsletter in December 2024 and January and February 2025

5. Outreach by Council members through their various networks or constituencies

301 responses were received. Not all respondents answered every question.

The graphs in the following pages show the percentages of responses to the questions.

The following summary points deserve emphasis:

1. Enrollment in traditional public schools has declined significantly since the survey

conducted during approximately the same time frame last year. That said, the 2024 survey

did not ask whether families were homeschooling their children, so this data point may not

be reliable.

2. Significant numbers of military families remain unaware of the many resources available

to them.

3. Significant numbers of families do not know whether their child’s school district has a

District Military Education Coordinator or whether their child is enrolled in a Purple Star

School.

4. As compared to last year:

a) More families are aware of their school choice, advance enrollment, and virtual

enrollment options than last year.

b) Fewer children needing special education services were unable to access those services.

c) Significantly more families reported being unable to access mental/behavioral

healthcare services when needed.

d) Slightly fewer families reported being unable to access medical care when needed.

e) The percentage of families reporting an inability to afford adequate groceries for their

families was virtually unchanged. That said, the percentage of families so reporting

remains distressingly high at nearly 20% in both years.

f) The percentage of families reporting an inability to afford adequate housing was down

slightly from last year.

g) The percentage of families reporting inability to afford adequate childcare when needed

was very low and virtually unchanged from last year.

The appendix shows the number of respondents by school district, including charter schools.

Three final notes deserve mention:

1. This report is a summary only; it does not include the raw data, which are available upon

request.

2. Some school districts with large numbers of children of military families enrolled had very

few responses to the survey.

3. The 301 responses received is a small minority of the military families in Arkansas.

Generalizations cannot necessarily be drawn from this small sample.

Appendix H: Department of Defense Report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and

the House of Representatives, and to the States – Recommendations to Improve the Military

Interstate Children’s Compact Commission

The 2023 National Defense Authorization Act required the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of

Homeland Security to develop recommendations for the Congress to improve the Military Interstate

Children’s Compact Commission. In this report the DoD cited Arkansas and the Arkansas Council for

Military Children as examples for other states to follow. The DoD report follows this cover page.

Recommendations to Improve the Military

Interstate Children’s Compact

December 2024

The estimated cost of this report for the Department of Defense is approximately $13,000 in Fiscal Years

2023 – 2024. This includes $0 in expenses and $13,000 in DoD labor.

INTRODUCTION

Section 579 of the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for

Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 (Public Law 117–263) requires the Secretary of Defense and the

Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the States through the Defense-State

Liaison Office (DSLO), to develop recommendations for the Committees on Armed Services of

the Senate and the House of Representatives, and the States, to improve the Military Interstate

Children’s Compact, also called the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military

Children (the Compact). The report should include the following three considerations:

(1) identify of any barriers—

(A) to the ability of a parent of a transferring military-connected child to

enroll the child, in advance, in an elementary or secondary school in the State

in which the child is transferring, without requiring the parent or child to be

physically present in the State; and

(B) to the ability of a transferring military-connected child who receives

special education services to gain access to such services and related supports

in the State to which the child transfers within the timeframes required under

the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. § 1400 et seq.);

(2) consider the feasibility and advisability of—

(A) tracking and reporting the number of families who use advanced

enrollment in States that offer advance enrollment to military-connected

children;

(B) States clarifying in legislation that eligibility for advanced enrollment

requires only written evidence of a permanent change of station order, and

does not require a parent of a military-connected child to produce a rental

agreement or mortgage statement; and

Children’s Compact, developing a letter or other memorandum that military

families may present to local educational agencies that outlines the protections

afforded to military-connected children by the Military Interstate Children’s

Compact.

(3) identify any other actions that may be taken by the States (acting together

or separately) to improve the Military Interstate Children’s Compact.

DSLO focuses on improving the economic well-being and quality of life for military

members and their families by assisting State officials in making policy changes on various

issues, including the education of military-connected students (MCS).

RESEARCH AND RELATED INFORMATION USED TO

INFORM REPORT

Summary

DSLO relied on the following five resources for this report, described below. In addition,

the Appendix has supplementary background information that may clarify the scope of these

programs.

Evaluation of State Implementation of Four State Policy Initiatives for MCS

In April 2022, DSLO, in collaboration with the Clearinghouse for Military Family

Readiness at Pennsylvania State University (the Clearinghouse), initiated a project titled,

“Evaluation of State Implementation of Supportive Policies to Improve Educational Experiences

and Achievement for K-12 Military Children” (SPEAK), to examine the implementation of four

State-level policy initiatives, as well as other types of policies and programs, intended to support

MCS. The initiatives examined were Advance Enrollment (AE), the Interstate Compact on

Educational Opportunity for Military Children (the Compact), the Military Student Identifier

(MSI), and the Purple Star Schools Program or equivalent. The Clearinghouse employed a three-

part approach to its investigation:

In Phase I of the SPEAK project, the Clearinghouse conducted a comprehensive literature

review, spanning 20 years, related to educational outcomes of MCS and found very little

research or evaluation work related to these four initiatives. This literature review was published

in July 2022.1

In Phase II of the SPEAK project, the Clearinghouse conducted a data extraction of State

education agency websites to assess how each of the four initiatives was implemented at the

State level by examining the legislative and regulatory requirements of the policies. This

assessment found variability across States regarding their adoption of the initiatives,

applicability, definitions, and how the initiatives were enacted to impact the educational

experiences of MCS. This research was published in June 2023.2

Finally, in May 2024, the Clearinghouse completed Phase III of the SPEAK project3,

consisting of interviews of stakeholders with national, State, and local perspectives on

implementation of these initiatives and programs. A total of 154 interviews were conducted

across 30 States. Those 30 States host 82 percent of military installations in the 50 States and

District of Columbia and 88 percent of MCS in the country. Department of Defense (DoD)-

affiliated participants were connected with all six branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. The

participants included Military Service headquarters personnel, installation commanders, School

Liaison Program (SLP)4 and Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP)5 personnel, school

personnel in the installation area, parents who are Service members or spouses of Service

members assigned to the installation, local partners identified by installation personnel, and

Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission (MIC3)6 representatives. The questions

focused on awareness, implementation, impact, barriers, improvements, and coordination of

services related to all four State initiatives aimed at supporting MCS.

A considerable number of SLP personnel (30 percent) participated in this evaluation,

adding significant value to the project. The SLP offers various services and resources to support

students, parents, installation leadership, schools, and the surrounding community. School

liaisons are located at each installation and serve as the primary point of contact for grades pre-K

through 12 for education-related matters. They inform parents about local schools, graduation

requirements, afterschool programs, and homeschooling. By working with these stakeholders,

the SLP builds a support network to provide the best possible education experience for military-

connected children and youth worldwide.

The findings of the final Clearinghouse SPEAK report, which consolidates results from

all three Phases of the project, are being utilized to respond to section 579 of the NDAA for FY

2023, to identify any gaps in policy implementation at the State-level, and to inform future

DSLO State policy priorities and other DoD efforts to continue improving educational

opportunities and outcomes for MCS.

Supplemental Data Report on Barriers to MCS Access to Advance Enrollment and

Special Education Services

AE is an initiative allowing military parents to enroll their children in a public school

based on orders to the State, as opposed to traditional means of establishing residency

(e.g., proof of lease or mortgage statement).7 At the time of this report, 41 States had enacted

AE policies.

In 2023, the Clearinghouse provided a supplemental report using data obtained through

interviews conducted through the SPEAK study to inform our response to Congress regarding

MCS access to AE. This 2023 Clearinghouse Supplemental Data Report8 concluded, “potential

barriers to the ability of a parent of a transferring military-connected child to enroll the child, in

advance, without requiring the parent or child to be physically present in the state were identified

and fall into the following categories”:

1. Awareness: Of the 27 school liaisons who discussed the presence or absence of barriers to

the use or implementation of AE, 19 (70 percent) indicated there were barriers. Of the 19

who affirmed the presence of barriers, 5 (26 percent) discussed barriers related to parents’

unrealistic expectations, lack of school awareness, and school liaisons’ lack of knowledge of

families coming to and leaving the installation. Moreover, 5 of the 21 School Liaisons

(24 percent) who discussed ideas for improvement mentioned increasing school awareness of

AE or school liaison knowledge of incoming and outgoing students. In addition, 50 percent

of program managers/analysts who discussed ideas for improvement of AE mentioned

increasing school awareness.

Note, of all participants included within the referenced Clearinghouse SPEAK Phase III

report, military parents were identified as the participant group with the least awareness of

AE. Of the 148 participants who lived in States with AE, 127 (86 percent) were aware of

AE, and 21 (14 percent) were not. Parents self-reported the lowest level of awareness

(70 percent) of any of the participant groups, “...Of the participants who discussed family

awareness of AE, 41% believed that most families know what AE is, 37% reported that some

families know or there were caveats to their awareness. Twenty-two percent reported that

many families are not aware of AE.”

2. Home Address: School liaisons discussed barriers related to the student’s home address.

Eleven of the 19 (58 percent) school liaisons who indicated there are barriers associated with

AE discussed address-related barriers, specifically that school enrollment was based on or

required a physical address. In addition, issues related to the student’s home address were

discussed by the program managers/analysts and MIC3 State commissioners.

3. Consistency: Three of the 21 School Liaisons (14 percent) who discussed ideas for

improvement related to AE discussed a lack of consistency across States and/or policy

vagueness. Program managers/analysts also discussed challenges related to consistency

when discussing barriers and areas for improvement.

4. Funding, Support, and Enforcement: One school liaison discussed wanting more

enforcement and support by the State. In addition, one program manager/analyst discussed

the need for funding to implement the initiative.

5. Technology-based Challenges and Opportunities for Improvement: Two of the 21

school liaisons (10 percent) who discussed ideas for improvement to AE and one program

manager/analyst discussed potential improvements facilitated by technology.

Sec. 579 FY 2023 NDAA. Recommendations for the Improvement of the Military Interstate Children’s Compact.

104

6. School and District-specific Issues: Three of the 19 school liaisons (16 percent) who

discussed barriers to the use and implementation of AE discussed school- or district-specific

issues. Specific issues are noted below.

“Schools push back saying it is special treatment for military students; for example, corporate

families also transition.” (school liaison)

“Enrollment and registration for classes are different processes. Schools are shut down

during the summer, so staff are not available to help military families then.” (school liaison)

Special Education Services

This report also concluded there were additional barriers to MCS receiving special

education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (20 U.S.C.

§ 1400 et seq.).9 The barriers were related to a lack of services, slow document transfer

processes, and restrictions to open enrollment policies.

• Lack of services/resources:

- “The special education department says they don't have the services required.” (school

liaison)

- “[State] does not offer [specific type of] therapy.” (school liaison)

- “Resources are up to 300 miles away.” (school liaison)

• Slow document transfers:

- “Still have families who don’t have copies of IEPs, that creates problems during

enrollment.” (school liaison)

- “Documentation not always transferred by losing district in timely manner or hand

carried by parents.” (school liaison)

• Restrictions in open enrollment:

- “No out-of-district [open enrollment/school choice] transfers [for students with IEPs or

504 Plans].” (school liaison)

Vanderbilt University: Examination of MIC3 Implementation Practices

A recent quality improvement research study published by Vanderbilt University

examined the implementation of the Compact by the MIC3.10 For additional background

information on the Compact and the MIC3, see the Appendix. The study evaluated how the

organization defined and measured MIC3 success and what actions would improve

commissioners’ efficacy. Commissioners representing various military-populated States

completed a series of surveys and semi-structured interviews. This project revealed the

following six key findings:

1. Connectivity and communication with State councils varies from State to State.

2. Promising practices are not scaled to individual States.

3. Commissioners rely on support from the national headquarters.

4. Partnerships make a positive impact on commissioner efficacy.

5. The Commission does not have a unified definition or measurement tool of success.

6. State commissioners use family feedback and a lack of stakeholder requests as indicators of

success. A lack of stakeholder requests may be related to lack of knowledge of the compact,

not an indicator of success.

The report also included the following ten recommendations:

1. Develop a Compact success measurement tool to be utilized in each State.

2. Create a formalized plan, scaled across States, to take the place of the uncertainty and lack of

feedback.

3. Gather data to answer the implementation question. No longer rely on comments from

families or a lack of requests or complaints to understand if what they are doing makes an

impact.

4. Require formalized data collection, utilized in each State to measure success and mastery of

compact implementation.

5. Provide feedback to individual commissioners by utilizing a formalized performance

measure.

6. Partner with other military support organizations and initiatives to assist commissioners in

understanding how other advocates are successful.

7. Develop a mentorship program between commissioners of same-tiered States with similar

military populations.

8. Develop a formalized procedure for each State council’s interaction with the MIC3 and each

State’s department of education.

9. Develop a relationship with military senior leadership in professional development courses

such as the Sergeant Major Academy, the Senior Leadership Development Seminar, and the

Battalion and Brigade Leadership Courses.

10. Create military spouse opportunities within the MIC3 to learn more about the Compact and

to advocate to commissioners.

Supplemental Literature Review: Barriers to MCS Access to Special Education

Services

DSLO also conducted a review of IDEA,11 Government reports, and literature to identify

barriers to MCS’ ability to access special education and related services. The analysis resulted in

the identification of the following barriers:

• The inability to initiate processes prior to moving to the new location can delay the process to

define and implement services.

• State and Federal educational systems were not initially built with the high mobility of the

military family in mind.

• Military families moving into a new jurisdiction may experience inconsistencies in the

implementation of special education services because Federal law allows States some

flexibility in establishing eligibility criteria for such services.12

• Individual State policies and procedures to ensure all children with disabilities who are

residing in the State are identified, referred to in statute as “child find,” can delay or prevent

a child from receiving educational support.13

• There is a lack of understanding of the needs of military families requiring early intervention

and other special needs services and the ability/effectiveness of providers to support their

needs.14 Additionally, there is a need to better understand the needs and experiences of

IDEA Part C/early intervention professionals who serve military families.

• Incomplete evaluations and eligibility determinations for highly mobile children delay

eligible children from receiving free and appropriate education.15

• When some highly mobile children change school districts after the previous school district

(academic year) began but have not yet completed the evaluation, the new school district

might postpone the evaluation until the new school district’s response to the intervention

process has been implemented.16

• When some children transfer to a new school district during the summer, the new school

district might not provide those children with extended school year services as comparable

services because the new school district believes its obligation to provide comparable

services is limited to those services the child would receive during the normal school year.17

• Students are not eligible to receive special education or related services under IDEA if they

do not meet two required criteria: be classified as having one of the several eligible

categories of disabilities; and require special education and related services because of the

identified disability to benefit from public education.18 Parents could perceive this as a

barrier to receiving services if they disagree with the determination of the school district.

Information Provided by MIC3

In response to statutory requirement to work in “consultation with the states,” DSLO

requested the MIC3 provide a response to a variety of questions related to this congressional

requirement. The MIC3 noted the following key points in its April 2024 response letter19:

• The Compact is a demonstration of State sovereignty and a collaborative effort among States

to ensure uniform treatment of military children in education.

• Interstate compacts provide a State-developed structure for collaborative action while

building consensus among the States and evolving to new and increased demands over time.

• Interstate compacts are always limited to the specific terms set forth in the enabling

legislation enacted by member States.

• As it relates to the ability to make changes to the Compact, the MIC3 letter was notable for

these statements as it relates to rulemaking functions and limitations:

“With regard to expanding the scope of the Compact, the terms of the statute states that

no amendment to the Compact will be effective or binding on the member states until it is

universally adopted by statute in every member state. Since, as noted above, the

Compact cannot be expanded through rulemaking, adding additional areas or objectives

to the Compact’s functions would require amending the Compact statute in every

member state. Not only is this a prohibitively lengthy and costly process, but the

Commission has also already considered the issue of unanimous statutory amendment to

expand scope. After extensive discussion and debate, ultimately it was directed by

affirmative vote of the Commission in 2022 that it declines to “reopen” the Compact

statutes in the member states in order to expand its scope.”

• Identified barriers related to changing the Compact to address AE and special education

services for military-connected children:

- AE: “As outlined above, because AE was not part of the original model statute adopted

by the fifty states and the District of Columbia, unanimous consent by the member states

is required. This approval is not forthcoming, as noted above. Further, every member

state must legislatively modify the statute to implement such an initiative. This is not

feasible.”

- Special Education: “As the IDEA is a federal law and outside of the Commission’s

statutory mandate, further initiatives regarding this objective (to the extent not already

addressed by the Compact and the IDEA in conjunction) are more appropriately directed

to the US Department of Education.”

• While the MIC3 states it welcomes feedback and suggestions for improvement, the letter

noted recommendations are advisory and require unanimity among member States for

implementation.

(1)(A) IDENTIFICATION OF BARRIERS TO MCS’ ABILITY TO

ENROLL IN ADVANCE

Summary

As previously detailed, the Clearinghouse SPEAK Supplemental Data Report20 identified

several barriers to MCS access to AE policies related to awareness, home address, consistency,

funding and enforcement, technology, and school and district-specific issues.

Additionally, based on the previously referenced MIC3 response21, the Department

acknowledges improving the Compact to enhance services to military-connected children related

to AE is not feasible as the Compact does not address the timing of enrollment. No amendment

to the Compact will be effective or binding on the member States until it is universally adopted

by statute in every member State. In addition, if the Compact does not address a particular area

of concern, the rulemaking power cannot be used to expand or add to the scope of the Compact.

• If State education agencies (SEAs) and local education agencies (LEAs) included

standardized and user-friendly information for military families on available AE provisions

in State policy, it would increase awareness of AE. See the Appendix for a discussion of AE,

the SLP, and the EFMP.

• If States were to articulate who is eligible for AE, the benefits afforded to military families,

and requirements for military families with regard to AE and this information was easily

accessible to military families (e.g., on an education department webpage designated for

military families), it would also increase awareness of AE among military families. Families

should not need previous knowledge of the initiative to find the information.

• If States added specificity via legislative changes or education department regulations

(e.g., specifying who and what types of programs and activities are eligible for advance

enrollment), variability in implementation would be reduced.

(1)(B) IDENTIFICATION OF BARRIERS TO MCS ACCESS TO

TIMELY PROVISION OF SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES

AND RELATED SUPPORTS UPON TRANSFER

Summary

DSLO evaluated barriers to the ability of a transferring military-connected child who

receives special education services to gain access to such services and related supports in the

State to which the child transfers within the timeframes required under the IDEA. The analysis

of both academic and non-academic research identified 10 applicable barriers. Those are

outlined in the research section of this congressional report.

As detailed in the research section of this congressional response, the 2023 Clearinghouse

Supplemental Data Report22 also concluded that there were additional barriers for MCS

receiving services as part of an IEP or 504 Plan. The barriers were related to a lack of services,

slow document transfer processes, and restrictions to open enrollment/school choice.

The Compact defers to relevant Federal statutes, including the IDEA, when it comes to

transferring MCS who receive special education services gaining access to such services.23

For similar reasons provided in the AE response, improving the Compact to enhance

services to MCS receiving special education services does not appear to be feasible as no

amendment to the Compact will be effective or binding on the member States until it is adopted

• States could:

- Implement DSLO’s policy priority entitled, “State Support for Military Families with

Special Education Needs;”24 and

- Review and implement guidance provided within the U.S. Department of Education

letters provided to SEAs in February 2022, November 2022, and November 2023.25

(2)(A) CONSIDERATION OF FEASIBILITY AND

ADVISABILITY TRACKING AND REPORTING OF THE

NUMBER OF MILITARY FAMILIES USING ADVANCE

ENROLLMENT

Summary

To consider the feasibility and advisability of tracking and reporting the number of

families who use AE in States offering AE to MCS, it is necessary to identify them in statewide

longitudinal data systems. The MSI provision to track MCS in the public education system,

added to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA),26 established a requirement for LEAs and

public charter schools to include specific demographic questions in their enrollment process to

identify MCS.27

According to the 2022 Clearinghouse SPEAK Phase I report, “There is no research on the

implementation or effectiveness of this MSI initiative. Although the law only requires data

collection related to active-duty families, some states also identify National Guard families,

Reserve families, surviving families, families who are experiencing deployments, or veteran

families. Under this law, military-connected student status is reported by the parent.”28

111

Additionally, the 2023 Clearinghouse Phase II and III reports found a lack of consistent

implementation of the MSI across all 50 States and the District of Columbia. See the Appendix

for more information about this report’s findings on State implementation of the MSI.

Until the MSI is effectively implemented across all SEAs and LEAs, and consistently

reported to the States and the Department of Education, it is not feasible to collect reliable

information about MCS, including military children with special education needs in public

schools. Additionally, to track military family use of AE policies, the ESSA would need to be

amended to require States to include that data point within the required elements of the MSI.

(2)(B) CONSIDERATION OF FEASIBILITY AND

ADVISABILITY CLARIFYING ADVANCE ENROLLMENT

REQUIREMENTS IN STATE LEGISLATION

Summary

To consider the feasibility and advisability of individual States clarifying in statute via

legislation that eligibility for AE requires only written evidence of a permanent change of station

and does not require a parent of an MCS to produce a rental agreement or mortgage statement,

DSLO looked to the Clearinghouse SPEAK Phase II Data Extraction Report29 findings.

Regarding the feasibility, States can amend statutes through the State legislative process

to clarify eligibility requirements for AE. However, the State legislative process can be

complex, time-intensive (e.g., some State legislatures do not meet annually) and does not

guarantee passage of policy changes. At the time of the Clearinghouse Data Extraction Report,

38 States had “passed legislation allowing military dependent children to enroll in school based

on military orders as opposed to traditional proof of residency. Twenty-two of those States

(58 percent of those with AE legislation) explicitly allow electronic or remote registration or

enrollment, and six States (16 percent) specify parents, legal guardians, and students who do not

need to physically appear to register or enroll. Nineteen States (50 percent) include language

specifically stating students may use military orders to establish residency, or when in possession

of military orders, students are considered residents or are in compliance with residency

requirements. However, for 14 of those 19 States, this established residency is temporary, and

additional proof of residency is required at a later date.”30

Additionally, as stated within the previously referenced April 2024 MIC3 letter:

“As outlined above, because Advance Enrollment was not part of the original model

statute adopted by the fifty states and the District of Columbia, unanimous consent by the

member states is required. This approval is not forthcoming, as noted above. Further,

112

every member state must legislatively modify the statute to implement such an initiative.

This is not feasible.”

• If States that have not implemented AE were to consider enacting legislation or policy,

ensuring that MCS with special education needs are explicitly included in statute as eligible

students would improve clarity for families and schools regarding AE.

• It is advisable for States with AE policies to clarify that:

- The provisions of the policy apply to MCS with special education needs; and

- Remote enrollment must be allowed (i.e., military families do not need to appear in

person at the time of enrollment/registration); and

- Military orders or other proof of military transfer into the State may be used in lieu of

other residency requirements until a specified timeframe upon arrival.

• DSLO is available to provide best practice examples to States wishing to clarify their current

statutes to this end. States can also review the AE portion of the DSLO website to review

examples from other States.31

(2)(C) CONSIDERATION OF FEASIBILITY AND

ADVISABILITY DEVELOPING A MIC3 LETTER OR OTHER

MEMORANDUM FOR MILITARY FAMILIES

Summary

The Clearinghouse SPEAK Phase III report32 summarizes findings relevant to the

consideration of the feasibility and advisability of the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with

the MIC3, developing a letter or other memorandum military families may present to local

educational agencies outlining the protections afforded to MCS by the Compact:

“There is evidence of a lack of awareness and experience among at least some school

personnel and some military families regarding the existence or scope of the Compact.”

“[T]here is also evidence of a positive impact of the Compact when there is awareness of

the Compact and when it is implemented.”

In its response to DSLO, the MIC3 also made the following statement in support of the

development and provision of a letter:

“It is noted that the Commission supports the provision of a letter or memorandum of

support to military families to assist them as they transition from state to state. The

Commission would welcome the opportunity to develop a marketing and communication

plan with the USDOD to educate parents, inform commanders, and build awareness of

the Compact across services.”33

The DoD and MIC3 National Office are currently collaborating on such a letter.

Recommendation

• The Department has no recommendation as this action is in progress.

(3) ADDITIONAL STATE ACTIONS TO IMPROVE THE

COMPACT

Summary

The development and execution of education policy for MCS has many responsible

entities, which often have disjointed and unclear connection points. Given that education policy

is determined by local, State, and Federal authorities for all children, adding additional layers of

authority for military children through the DoD and the MIC3 cannot be achieved without

clarifying roles and responsibilities and developing long-term goals and strategies for

stakeholders to work together. There is currently no entity charged with being that convening

authority.

Multiple participants in the Clearinghouse SPEAK Phase III study noted the lack of

flexibility of the Compact. Some participants expressed concerns about making changes to the

Compact, which they fear may result in States opting out, thereby reducing the impact the

Compact is likely having on military families. Others noted when the Compact was created,

flexibility [to make changes to the model language or rules] was not built in to address emerging

issues experienced by military families. See the Appendix for additional discussion regarding

the flexibility of the Compact.

In acknowledgement of the very targeted scope of the Compact and limitations in terms

of its ability to make substantive changes, States, acting as members of the Compact, can take

actions to ensure a variety of improvements to the Compact are undertaken, consistent with the

findings and recommendations contained within the final Clearinghouse SPEAK report.

Enact State Legislation External to Compact Statute

• States could consider the benefits of implementing the Arkansas model for a statute outside

the Compact, as codified in Chapter 28 of Title 6 of the Arkansas Code (A.C.A. § 6-28),

entitled, “Arkansas Military Child School Transitions Act of 2021.” This approach creates

114

legislation outside the Compact, a concept endorsed by the MIC3.34 The Arkansas statute

operationalizes the Compact at the State level and enhances MCS educational experience in

the State, to include providing additional State-specific supports and data-collection

requirements. Specifically:

- Creating a unique requirement for Arkansas schools to designate a Military Family

Education Coordinator in any school with twenty or more military students enrolled.

- Significantly expanding the definition of who is eligible for support to include:

(1) members of the active duty and activated Reserve Components of the Uniformed

Services; (2) members or veterans of the Uniformed Services who were severely injured

in the line of duty and are medically discharged or retired for a period of 1 year following

the medical discharge or retirement; (3) members of the Uniformed Services who die

while on active duty or as a result of injuries sustained while on active duty for a period

of 1 year following the death; (4) dual status military technicians; and (5) traditional

members of the National Guard and Reserve Components of the U.S. Armed Forces who

are relocating to the State for employment or to serve as a member of an Arkansas-based

Reserve Component unit.

- Directing the State Board of Education to promulgate rules to implement the chapter,

ensuring both the Compact and the additional provisions are adhered to by local school

districts.

- Permitting enrollment in distance and digital education coursework for inbound

transitioning students.

- Creating the Arkansas Council of Military Children, with enhanced requirements

significantly above and beyond the requirements of the MIC3, to include requirements

for who sits on the council as well as how often the council meets.

- Allowing for AE and specifying enhanced transfer of educational records.

- Enhancing enrollment, placement, eligibility, and graduation processes.

- Providing for the adoption of and enforcement of administrative rules.

- Providing for the uniform collection and sharing of data between and among public

schools.

- Requiring specific data elements to be reported to the Arkansas Public School Computer

Network will help Arkansas to understand the number of MCS across the State.

2023. https://mic3.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Statutory-Language-External-to-the-Compact_2022.11.04.pdf.

115

- Directing the Arkansas Education Commissioner as responsible for the administration

and management of the State’s participation in the Compact.35

While several other States have taken legislative actions outside the Compact, the

Arkansas model appears to be the most robust mechanism to increase flexibility, oversight,

accountability and consistency of the Compact and other supportive policies and programs for

MCS. By inserting implementation and oversight mechanisms into separate State codes,

Arkansas created the flexibility necessary to serve military families nearly 20 years after the

Compact was initially written while not modifying the State Compact statute. States can more

easily amend these new sections of code as necessary to improve their services to military

families without having to modify Compact statute language in all 50 States at once.

Improve Compact Implementation and Enforcement

• States, acting as members of the Compact, can enhance the Compact by implementing the

recommendations contained within the previously discussed Vanderbilt University research

report.36

Increase Compact Consistency

• To increase the consistency of statutory language, States could work with MIC3 to assess

their Compact legislation to evaluate the alignment with the MIC3 model language and refine

the legislation accordingly. This could be particularly beneficial in those States where the

changes reduce the protection for military students compared to the model language.37

• Utilizing existing MIC3 resources, individual States could improve LEA staff training,

specifically to ensure that the Compact is applied consistently both within a State and across

State boundaries.

• A promising practice to identify knowledge or implementation gaps is for States to conduct

monitoring, oversight, or randomly conducted surveys of parents and LEA and school

personnel.

• States can remedy administrative-related inconsistencies of States’ commissioners and

councils, as identified by the Vanderbilt University report,38 by considering how the selection

and implementation of the MIC3 State commissioner position (e.g., whether it is a paid

position or additional duty, the location of the commissioner within the education system)

may impact the execution of MIC3 commissioner duties.

Increase Funding, Compliance, Monitoring, and Enforcement

• If States implemented and enforced a more robust data collection policy to comply with the

Compact statute and provide critical information for military families, SEAs, and LEAs, all

might understand the impact of MCS transitions as they move with their families. This data

could be requested of each State department of education, pursuant to ESSA MSI

requirements. See the Appendix for additional discussion.

Issues with compliance, monitoring, and enforcement were another common theme

discussed by the participants in the Clearinghouse SPEAK Phase III interviews. Funding and

concerns about the adequacy of funding were discussed both in relation to compliance,

monitoring, and enforcement and as a stand-alone issue. There were also discussions centered

on compliance with the Compact, particularly related to extracurricular activities, special

education, and different testing requirements by States.

The previously referenced Vanderbilt University research39 concluded:

“The Commission does not have a unified definition or measurement tool of success.

Each state operates independently but uses family feedback and lack of stakeholder

requests as an indicator. The MIC3 must develop a compact success measurement tool to

be utilized in each state. Creating a formalized plan, scaled across states, can take the

place of the uncertainty and a lack of feedback. To be able to tackle the overarching

concern, wondering if the legislation is effective, we need to be able to gather that data to

answer the question. The organization can no longer rely on passing comments from

families or lack of requests or complaints to understand if what they are doing makes an

impact. It requires formalized data collection, utilized in each state, to measure success

and mastery of compact implementation.”

Leverage Technology

• States could consider ensuring detailed information about the Compact is easily accessible to

military families (e.g., located on State education department and local school district

webpages for military families).

The Clearinghouse SPEAK Phase III report40 noted concerns regarding awareness of the

Compact, stating that 69 percent discussed one or more barriers related to the Compact,

including lack of parent and school personnel awareness. Of those who discussed one or more

barriers, 20 percent discussed a lack of school awareness, and 23 percent noted a lack of parent

awareness as a challenge. Furthermore, of the parents who discussed specific barriers,

67 percent discussed a lack of knowledge among parents about the Compact. A recent military

service organization report stated:

“The majority (74%) of active-duty military families with at least one child enrolled in

grades K-12 report they do not know about the Interstate Compact on Educational

Opportunity for Military Children. However, those who have used the Interstate

Compact to advocate for their child report positive outcomes.”41

Technology is one of the most effective ways to socialize the Compact with military

families.42 Several participants in the Clearinghouse SPEAK Phase III study discussed ways that

technology could be leveraged to improve experiences for military families, particularly in an

age in which more people are utilizing online platforms like Zoom or Teams. MIC3 has taken

significant steps to increase training using technology, but this has not been seen consistently

across the States.

Increase Military Family Representation on Compact State Councils

• Virginia has included a military spouse on the Compact State council, which is consistent

with the DSLO priority entitled, “Military Community Representation on State Boards and

Councils.”43 Other States could consider the benefits to be derived from increasing military

family representation on Compact State councils.

• Encourage MIC3 to enforce the requirement contained within the Compact model language

for State councils to designate a military family education liaison.

The final Clearinghouse SPEAK report highlighted the importance of the State councils

having connectivity within the State government and on committees influencing educational

opportunities in the States. Related, DSLO has identified the benefit of military family

representation at the State and national MIC3 level. Notably, Virginia was the first State to

include a military spouse as a representative on its MIC3 State council.

CONCLUSION

While making substantive changes to State Compact statutes is not feasible given its

framework, this congressional response proposes a variety of potential actions Federal and State

governments can take to improve State implementation of the Compact and MSI and increase

transferring MCS access to timely special education services and supportive State policies such

as AE.

Appendix

Background

Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children

In 2006, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, in

cooperation with the Council of State Governments (CSG) and National Center for Interstate

Compacts, drafted the Compact to address the educational challenges transitioning children of

military families encountered. The following year, an advisory group led by the DSLO and CSG

finalized the model statute language, and by 2014, all 50 State legislatures and the District of

Columbia had adopted the Compact.

An interstate compact is a legally binding agreement between two or more States, similar

to a contract, designed to promote cooperative action among States and provide a widely

recognized and durable policy solution.44 The MIC3, per the authorizing statutes in each State,

was created in 2008 and is the statutorily created administrative entity with responsibility to

administer the provisions of the Compact. Commission members include the 50 States, the

District of Columbia, and 6 ex officio representatives. The ex officio representatives include the

DoD and five non-profit organizations: the Military Child Education Coalition, the National

Military Family Association, the Military Impacted School Association, the National Federation

of State High School Associations, and Blue Star Families.

Compact Flexibility

By statute, the Compact cannot make substantive changes to the model language adopted

by all States without unanimous agreement among all member States. However, rulemaking

power is vested in MIC3 to clarify or augment current provisions.

A recent example of the MIC3 rulemaking process relates to the awarding of partial

credit for MCS. A longstanding issue for MCS is the fact that a child may transfer during the

school year and subsequently lose those credits if they did not finish the semester (or quarter).

For context, based on feedback received by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, OSD, and the Military

Services in a recent evaluation, this partial credit issue was determined to be the most important

issue for the DSLO to consider working with the States in FY 2026. Related legislation enacted

in California by Assembly Bill 365 (2017)45 provides a framework for DSLO to engage with

States for potential policy changes to address the issue.

119

Recently, the State of Nevada requested the MIC3 evaluate and issue an advisory opinion

on the issue of partial credit. The resulting advisory opinion46 states, “Despite citation to the

Compact’s provisions on placement flexibility, there was a lack of clarity as to whether the

compact would permit the local education agency to waive seat time requirements to remedy the

misalignment of semesters between the two districts to permit full award of course credit.”

Subsequently, the MIC3 proposed the following rule change to Sec 5.104 Placement

Flexibility47:

(b) In the event that a student transfers to another state or school district and

there is misalignment with the secondary semesters, resulting in lost (Carnegie

unit) seat time and loss of course credit for the entire semester due to the lost seat

time, the receiving school has the flexibility to:

(1) provide the student with the missed coursework and waive the lost seat

time and/or

(2) use discretion to waive the lost seat time and award semester credit if

the student’s end of semester grade(s) demonstrate mastery.

In August 2024, after seeking and receiving feedback from the public and interested

stakeholders (to include various agencies and components of DoD), the MIC3 Rules Committee

discussed the proposed rule change and ultimately voted to “stand on the legal advisory #1-2024

and table the rules amendment for a year.” Consequently, the whole commission of MIC3 will

not consider the matter at its annual business meeting (ABM) in October 2024.

Compact Compliance, Monitoring, and Enforcement

In a February 2023 legal opinion48 written by the law firm EMWN Law at the request of

the MIC3, the question of data collection was discussed. The Commission’s previous rule on

data collection provided that:

(a) As required by the compact, and as specified by the operational procedures

and forms approved by the Commission, the States shall gather, maintain, and

report data regarding the transfer and enrollment of students who transfer from

one State LEA to another State LEA under this compact.

(b) Each State shall report to the Commission annually the number of students

transferred to an LEA from another State and received from another State’s LEA

in the previous year.

Commission no later than June 30 of each year.

Although only one State, Arkansas, had attempted to comply, this rule was aligned with

the Compact’s statutory requirement (Article XI.I):

“The Interstate Commission shall collect standardized data concerning the educational

transition of the children of military families under this compact as directed through its

rules which shall specify the data to be collected, the means of collection and data

exchange and reporting requirements.”

Two questions were raised by the Commission and answered by the law firm:

“Question 1: Can the Commission repeal its own rule mandating the collection of data by

the member states when the Compact’s model language contains an identical provision?

Short Answer: Yes, the Commission can repeal this rule, provided that the correct

procedure is observed for doing so.

Question 2: Given that the model language requires the member states to collect certain

data regarding the movement of military children, can the Commission choose not to

enforce this requirement?

Short Answer: No, the Commission is bound by this statutory mandate; however, in this

case, the model language would allow the Commission to adopt a more flexible data

collection model.”

At its 2023 ABM, the MIC3 submitted a significant change to rule “Sec 2.102 Data

Collection and Reporting” to be considered by the Compact State commissioners. In a verbal

statement at the ABM, the DoD ex-officio voiced concerns that the rule change was not

consistent with Compact data collection requirements or MIC3’s legal opinion; and

recommended that MIC3 instead work with stakeholders to “determine what would make

capturing the data consistently and accurately possible.” Nonetheless, the rule change was

subsequently approved by a majority vote of commissioners.

The following changes to rule 2.102 Data Collection follow:

“(a) As required by the compact, and as specified by the operational procedures and

forms approved by the Commission, the State shall gather, maintain, and report data

regarding the transfer and enrollment of students. who transfer from one state LEA to

another state LEA under this compact.

(b) Each State shall may report as determined by to the Commission annually the

number of students transferred to an LEA from another State’s and received from another

State’s LEA in the previous year.

Commission no later than June 30 of each year. in a manner and frequency determined by

the Commission.”49

121

MSI

The MSI is a data point States are required to collect and include as part of each State’s

report card pursuant to ESSA.

In practice, this data has not been as useful as originally envisioned. Findings from the

Clearinghouse project indicated there is wide variability among States in terms of who is counted

in the MSI data. Parents are asked to voluntarily self-identify as a military family, and the

response options provided (e.g., active duty military, National Guard, surviving families, reserve,

veteran) are not consistent across States. In addition, researchers were unable to identify a

consistent definition for “military family” (e.g., active duty only; active duty, National Guard,

and Reserve). The differences in who is included in the counts of military families, combined

with the fact that achievement standards differ across States (Ji et al., 2021), mean the

interpretation of this data across States is not consistent and will differ. Furthermore, even when

States clearly define what military-connected means, researchers found it difficult to find school,

district, and State-level achievement data for MCS. Generally, the information was found by

searching the State education department website with terms such as “data dictionary,” “data

elements,” and “glossary,” as opposed to this information being linked to the data.50

Finally, House Report 117–397, pages 168-169, accompanying the NDAA for FY 2023,

requested the Secretary of Defense to submit a report examining the availability and utility of

data on military students, especially those with special needs. This report, authored by the

Department of Defense Education Activity, reviewed the current state of the MSI data element

and the extent to which the MSI data meets the standards in the ESSA and IDEA. The report

noted the following considerations:

• Require SEAs to use the definition developed by the Common Education Data

Standards workgroup for “active duty” within the data systems. Not all States use the

definition provided because they have expanded who qualifies as “active duty” to include

military-connected populations within their States who work in relevant, connected fields.

• Leverage existing models of data reporting and collection to consider military-

connected students a protected group like those experiencing homelessness. Under the

McKinney-Vento Act, designed to ensure homeless students have access to a free,

appropriate public education, States must meet legislative requirements related to providing

demographic and outcome data for students experiencing homelessness. These data are

submitted to the Department of Education through the EDFacts Submission System and

reported annually (National Center for Homeless Education, 2019).

• Require States to ensure MSI is a reportable demographic item in their statewide

longitudinal data systems. Recommend States report students with an MSI as a

demographic subgroup that can be disaggregated to multiple demographics providing a

cross-section across all demographics, to include but not be limited to students with

disabilities, race, ethnicity, and gender, so disaggregated data is available for both ESSA and

IDEA accountability reports.

• Require States to report military-connected students with disabilities as an ESSA

subgroup. Under ESSA, schools already need to separate out and provide data specific to

the performance of students who are homeless (Data Quality Campaign, 2016) related to

academic achievement, graduation rates, academic progress for elementary and middle

schools, and progress in attaining English language proficiency.

• Require States to identify an actual timeframe for IEP implementation, such as the

school being provided up to 30 days to either re-evaluate the student or adopt the existing

IEP. Neither Part B of the IDEA nor the regulations implementing Part B of the IDEA

establish timelines for the new public education agency to adopt a child’s IEP from the

previous public agency or to develop and implement a new IEP. Consistent with 34 CFR

§ 300.323(e)-(f), the new public agency must take these steps within a reasonable period to

avoid any undue interruption in the provision of required special education and related

services.

AE is an initiative allowing military parents to enroll their children in public school based

on orders to the State, as opposed to traditional means of establishing residency (e.g., proof of

lease or mortgage statement), allowing enrollment to occur before the family has moved to the

new duty station.51 At the time of this report, 41 States have enacted AE policies.

Based on findings from the Clearinghouse analysis, statutory language defining the

requirements of AE policies varies widely across States. For example, some States include

specific details about the mode of enrollment (e.g., remote enrollment, not needing to physically

appear), the type of schools or programs governed by the AE law (e.g., open enrollment schools,

virtual education options, electives, sports), the documents required at the time of enrollment

(e.g., military orders), the timeframe within which students must provide any additional

documentation (e.g., sometimes traditional proof of residency is required within 10 days of an

official arrival date), and the address may be used for proof-of-residency. Additionally, each

State’s statutory language sets the minimum requirement for public schools in that State, but

schools may allow other opportunities or have additional requirements so long as they do not

conflict with the statute.52

SLP

The SLP53 is an essential element of the DoD Child and Youth Programs, Pre-

Kindergarten-12th Grade (PK-12) support, and youth sponsorship programs provided at military

installations. The SLP serves active duty military, National Guard and Reserve military

personnel, DoD civilians, and their families living on or off a military installation within the

Service-approved catchment area. Additionally, the SLP supports spouses of military members

who died as a result of a combat-related incident and those acting in loco parentis for eligible

dependent PK-12 MCS. School liaisons at each installation provide information and build

partnerships with the civilian and military community to address common education challenges

of military families. School liaisons are also an initial contact for participation in the Youth

Sponsorship Program which helps build resilience in youth and ease transitions. SLP support is

free of charge and open to all DoD identification cardholders, educators who serve military-

connected students, and community partners involved with PK-12 education.

SLP goals include:

• Identifying barriers to academic success and developing solutions.

• Promoting parental involvement and educating local communities and schools about the

needs of military children.

• Developing and coordinating partnerships in education.

• Providing students, parents, and school personnel with the tools they need to overcome

obstacles to education that stem from the military lifestyle.

Installation school liaison duties include:

• Serving as the primary point of contact for PK-12 education-related matters in their assigned

areas of responsibility.

• Representing, informing, and assisting their respective commands as it relates to PK-12

education-related issues.

• Assisting all military families in their areas of responsibility with a variety of PK-12

education-related issues.

• Coordinating with local school systems.

• Forging partnerships between the military community and local communities and schools.

EFMP

The EFMP is a DoD program supporting military families with dependents who have

medical or educational special needs due to a disability or chronic medical condition.54 The

EFMP aims to ensure families receive the support they need, especially during relocations and

deployments. It helps to identify and address the unique needs of these family members. Once

enrolled, families may access a range of support services, including the family support “warm

hand-off,” which assists families with transitioning services and supports such as medical care,

housing assistance, educational resources, respite care, and information about community

support programs. In addition, EFMP enrollment can influence military assignments to ensure

families are stationed in locations where appropriate medical and educational support services

are available for their dependents.

In addition to a school liaison, each installation has one or more EFMP Family Support

providers, typically connected to an installation Military and Family Support Center. The EFMP

FS provider can assist with special education support, including training and appropriate

referrals. In addition, amendments to 10 U.S.C. § 1718c in the NDAA for FY 2021 (Public Law

117–81) required the “Secretary of each Military Department provide legal services by an

attorney, trained in education law, at each military installation- (A) the Secretary determines is a

primary receiving installation for military families with special needs; and (B) in a state the

Secretary determines has historically not supported families enrolled in the EFMP.”55 Currently,

each Military Department has on staff at least one specialized attorney to assist in training,

educating, answering questions, and providing assistance with special education concerns.

Overview

The Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission (MIC3), established in 2008, governs the Interstate

Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children (ICEOMC), which aims to ease school transitions for

children of military and uniformed service members. All 50 states and the District of Columbia participate, along

with six ex-oicio members including the U.S. Department of Defense. The Compact ensures consistent policies

across states in areas such as eligibility, enrollment, placement, and graduation for military-connected students in

public and Department of Defense schools worldwide. Originating from a 2006 collaboration between the

Department of Defense and the Council of State Governments, the Compact serves as a binding agreement

among states to address the unique educational challenges of military families while respecting state sovereignty.

Eligible beneﬁciaries include children of active-duty service members, certain federal service oicers, and recently

retired or deceased military personnel.

Other

Accomplishments

Compact 101

Through collaboration between the State Commissioner and the Chair of Wilmington University’s Master’s in

School Counseling Program, the online Compact 101 course has been added to the Counselor as Consultant

course requirements. This ensures that all pre-service school counselors will have completed the course prior to

graduating and entering the workforce. This requirement began full implementation in the Spring 2025 semester.

Additionally, this summer, the Compact 101 course will be added to the Department of Education’s learning

management system. This will provide an opportunity for anyone working in schools to complete the course and

use the time towards their recertiﬁcation hours.

Both of these initiatives were presented to the MIC3

Training Committee on April 25, 2025.

Purple Star Schools

Ten Delaware schools have earned the Purple Star

School designation, recognizing them for their

commitment to supporting the unique educational

and social-emotional needs of military-connected

children.

The 2025 recipients are Caesar Rodney School

District’s Allen Frear Elementary, David E. Robinson

Elementary, Major George S. Welch Elementary, Nellie

Stokes Elementary and Star Hill Elementary as well as

Lake Forest School District’s Lake Forest Central

Elementary, Lake Forest East Elementary, Lake Forest

North Elementary, Lake Forest South Elementary and

W.T. Chipman Middle.

Month of the Military Child Proclamation

On April 15, 2025, Governor Meyer signed a proclamation declaring April as the Month of the Military Child in

Delaware. Representatives from the Delaware’s Air Force and National Guard were joined by school personnel,

Hawaii Interstate Compact Cases and Inquires

School Year 2024-2025

09/09/2024 Hawaii (Army)

Student turned age 5 on 8/11/24. The Hawaii state requirement is for a child to be age 5 by July

31, 2024, to qualify for kindergarten. Mother sent student to live temporarily with an uncle in

California to attend kindergarten. In looking into the matter it was found that the spouse who is

also a service member/ resides in Hawaii with mother stayed in Hawaii with their older child

who was attending the first grade since the start of the school year. After a document review of

the information that was provided, the transition was not a PCS move and the multiple TDY's

although they were mission critical, was not a deployment to a deignated combat zone as listed

in the IRS website. The decision for the student to reside in California and attend school was a

private family matter. It was determined with consultation from the MIC3 Executive Director

that the situation described was outside of the Compact purview and that the state eligibility laws

prevail. Completed 9/10/2024.

10/01/2024 Florida to Hawaii (Army)

9th grade student moved from Florida to Hawaii over the summer. The student was in advanced

math in 8th grade and was scheduled to be enrolled in Algebra 1 in 9th grade. When student

came to Hawaii the student was placed in 9th grade math and was informed that they could test

into Algebra 1 at the beginning of school. The student was tested and did not pass the eligibility

test. The parent cited the Compact claiming that the student should have been placed in the

Algebra 1 classs and then tested. The Compact did ally to this case and student was placed in the

Algebra 1 course. Completed 10/1/2024.

12/5/2024 Participation in Soccer after tryouts at Kapolei High School Inquiry

A new student at Kapolei High School transferring in December requested the opportunity to

participate in the soccer season. Parent was familiar with the interstate compact and guidance

was provided that the student be afforded the opportunity to tryout and if skills were comparable

to other team members she be allowed to participate on the team. Completed 12/8/2024.

01/14/2025 Texas to Hawaii (Army)

Student was requesting a PE half credit to be awarded for her participation in wrestling. In

looking at the course description from the Texas High School it was listed under Physical

Education. Transcript provided shows it is coded as the student earning the credit. It was

determined that the receiving school-Kalaheo High School should count the credit towards the

Hawaii state graduation requirements. Completed 1/15/2025

140

5/2025 Hawaii High School Athletic Association Inquiry

Our Hawaii High School Athletic Association is looking at updating their transfer rules to

address students transferring midseason, and to prevent athletes from transferring solely to

impact the outcome of state championships. After communication with the Hawaii

commissioner, they have settled on the following rule change. This does not impact military

students who may utilize the Interstate Compact in the event that they experience a military

move late in the season.

"Student-athletes must be enrolled in a member school for 21 days prior to the first state

tournament contest of that sport, in order to be eligible to participate in the state tournament."

4. Military-connected students are required to be recognized and

coded as a distinct subgroup in

school demographic systems. Military-connected students are

those with a parent who is a

member of the Armed Forces on active duty or who serves part-

time or full-time in the National

Guard or Reserve Force of the United States military.

Purple Star Recognitions

None

1 - Expanding the number of Purple Star Schools in Idaho directly

benefits this unique student

population by providing targeted support

2 - In Idaho, the proper identification of military-connected students is a

key initiative aimed at

supporting the unique educational needs of children from military

families.

b. Expanded Military Connected Student Question

Jathan reported that the question on the registration form has been updated. This should help

with data reported by military connected families during the registration process.

c. Update on MIC3 Committee Appointments

Our Commission is still lacking a few appointments. Jathan and Laura will monitor this and

address legislators in the fall to seek appointments.

V. New Business

a. MIC3 Dues: timeline, potential increase, etc.

Laura shared an increased dues proposal and what impact that would have on the State of Iowa.

The report was more of an FYI and impact to our state is rather minimal given there haven’t been

dues increases from a long period of time.

b. Open discussion

No new items were discussed.

Activities of the State Council

MIC3 Annual Conference (October 16-17, 2024)

Kentucky State Commissioner Bullard was unable to attend the MIC3 Annual Business Meeting (ABM) in

Albuquerque, New Mexico due to illness. Commissioner Bullard continues to serve as the national Compliance

Committee Chair, a role he has held since 2022. His report to the ABM as the Compliance Committee Chair

was delivered in his stead by Compliance Committee member Commissioner Dan Dunham of Virginia. Bullard

was additionally scheduled to present an overview of Kentucky’s state MIC3 program and related military

activities/installations. That report will now be presented at the 2025 ABM in Indianapolis, Indiana October

23-24.

The MIC3 Finance Committee presented on an annual dues increase proposal that will be introduced for

formal vote at the 2025 ABM. There was a discussion led by national MIC3 Executive Director Imai on how

MIC3 builds awareness through resources to educate parents and schools. Available resources include free

guides and brochures; monthly Compact 101 training; webinars in Spanish and American sign language; and

training on request. The commission also launched a free online, on-demand training portal at

mic3training.net.

State Council Annual Meeting (January 30, 2025; virtual)

The State Council conducted its annual meeting on January 30, 2025 through Zoom video teleconference. In

Kentucky, per direction of the governor, the executive director of the Kentucky Commission on Military Affairs

serves as the state commissioner for this national program, with a Kentucky Department of Education

representative. Commissioner Bullard was appointed by the Governor on August 20, 2019 to serve as the

148

state commissioner. The Kentucky MIC3 State Council was created by the Kentucky General Assembly during

their 2008 session, through Senate Bill 68, sponsored by the late Senator Tom Buford.

Meeting contributors included Commissioner Bullard, Military MIC3 Representative Colonel Chris Ricci (Fort

Knox Garrison Commander), Hardin County Schools Superintendent Teresa Morgan, Tracey Leath representing

Christian County Public Schools Superintendent Chris Bentzel, State Senator Mike Wilson, Kentucky

Department of Education Director of Government Relations Dr. Brian Perry, Fort Knox School Liaison Officer

Brenda Weatherington, Fort Campbell School Liaison Officer Laquvia Garrett, Lindsey Dablow of the national

MIC3 office staff, and Stacey Shane (KCMA). State Representative Myron Dossett was unable to participate.

Cherise Imai, National MIC3 Executive Director, presented an overview of current national MIC3 programs and

briefly reviewed the 2024 Annual Business Meeting (ABM) held in October in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Developed in 2006 by the U.S. Department of Defense and the Council of State Governments, by 2015 it was

adopted by all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Compact eases educational challenges that military-

connected students encounter and supports easing transfers between public school districts and U.S.

Department of Defense schools. Issues covered by the compact include enrollment, placement and

attendance, and graduation. Executive Director Imai said the Compact also features six ex-officio members

with the addition of Blue Star Families this Fall. The other ex-officio members are Department of Defense, the

Military Child Education Coalition, the Military Impacted Schools Association, the National Federation of State

High School Associations, and the National Military Family Association.

Commissioner Bullard said Kentucky submitted our 2024 MIC3 Annual Report on June 30, 2024 and paid our

annual dues on May 14, 2024. The MIC3 year runs July through June annually and payments are due by

September 30. They are paid through the Department of Military Affairs, as KCMA has no budget function.

This year’s amount was $10,355, based on K-12 dependents of military personnel assigned. Bullard submitted

his mandatory annual Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest forms for 2025 online in November 2024.

Bullard unfortunately was unable to attend the 2024 Annual Business Meeting due to illness (Covid). He was

kept abreast of activities by national MIC3 staff.

Commissioner Bullard said that MIC3, which ensures smooth transfer to new school districts, is very effective

here in Kentucky. We have a great partnership with Kentucky Department of Education and our DODEA school

liaisons at Fort Knox and Fort Campbell. All elements continue to go well, he briefed. Our MIC3 State Council

membership is full, and cases are at a minimum, with no cases thus far this current fiscal year thanks to the

outstanding work of our school liaison officers at Fort Campbell and Fort Knox.

Commissioner Bullard said Kentucky MIC3 has no legislation pending for the 2025 or 2026 sessions. He noted

that Kentucky’s military community had an outstanding state legislative session in 2024, featuring House Bill

(HB) 200, which fixed a technical error (common to all states due to citation error in initial implementation) in

the Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission (MIC3) statute (KRS 156.730) and added the National

Guard and Reserve to state MIC3 protection (KRS 176.735). In addition, HB 200 recognized the new U.S. Space

Force and created a Space Force license plate, created a Legion of Merit medal license plate, and corrected the

name of the Army Reserve Aviation Command at Fort Knox in our KCMA statute.

Additionally, the following military/veterans related bills passed during the 2024 session:

•HB 56 – KCMA and DOD priority Social Work Occupational Licensing Compact membership

•HB 397 – Support for military personnel and spouses in occupational licensing

•HB 453 – DOD priority Child Abuse case reporting to military installations

•HB 471 – Support for Advance Enrollment of military connected students

•HB 469 – Kentucky Purple Star Schools enabling legislation

149

•HB 715 – Military Family Assistance Trust Fund benefits expansion

In related activity, Commissioner Bullard noted that First Lady Britainy Beshear visited Fort Knox DODEA

schools on April 19, 2024 to promote the Month of the Military Child, meet installation leaders, and promote

military family readiness. During the 2025 calendar year, the Kentucky Purple Star Schools program brought

on over 50 new participating schools, bringing the number to well over 120 statewide. We expect Hardin

County to become an all-Purple Star Schools county in 2025. We continue to utilize the outstanding videos

filmed by the Governor and First Lady in 2021 and 2022 highlighting the Month of the Military Child, and

issued a Governor’s proclamation honoring April’s Month of the Military Child on April 15, 2024.

Following the success of last year’s launch of Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood Plus (MCCYN-Plus) in

Kentucky, Tennessee has now come on board and launched the program, to be benefit of Fort Campbell

soldiers. Commissioner Bullard reviewed recent priorities outlined by the Commanding General of the 101st

Airborne Division (Air Assault) and Fort Campbell, including child care provisions and the recent funding in the

National Defense Authorization Act for a new Child Care Center. Fort Campbell has been authorized by the

U.S. Army to launch a pilot child care program for military spouses, with Department of Defense funding home

child care business opportunities. Fort Campbell has asked for assistance from the Kentucky Cabinet for

Health and Family Services, which has indicated their support, pending further information from the

installation garrison command.

Commissioner Bullard led a discussion on a proposed national MIC3 dues increase. He said he has given both

the State Budget Director and the Executive Director of the Kentucky Department of Military Affairs, which is

charged by the Governor with paying this annual bill, a a heads up for future planning, starting with the

SFY2027 budget. Bullard said it looks virtually certain (overwhelming national support) that we’ll get an

increase in our state Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission (MIC3) annual dues, likely around

$6,000 in SFY2027. The national MIC3 Finance Committee has published an information “toolkit” for all states

to consider during the planning and evaluation process, which Bullard shared with the state council prior to

today’s meeting. The national MIC3 council is seeking approval at this Fall’s national MIC3 Annual Business

Meeting for an annual dues increase.

National MIC3 has only had one dues increase since its inception in 2007, and that was in 2017. Dues have not

been indexed to inflation. Significant inflationary pressures have created a need. Bullard said he is personally

fully confident the national MIC3 staff and leadership team are exercising excellent judgment in the manner in

which they administer the program, with appropriate legal and financial vetting.

Kentucky’s portion of the annual national dues currently is $10,355.00, based on K-12 dependents of full-time

military personnel assigned to Kentucky. As noted earlier, per direction of the Governor, our annual national

MIC3 dues are paid through the Kentucky Department of Military Affairs’ budget process, which should be

taken into account by state government. DMA is a fully supportive partner in this effort.

Kentucky is currently paying $1.15 per tracked K-12 military dependent. The dues increase proposal would

bring this to $1.78 per child in dues year 2027, rising steadily to $2.34 per child by dues year 2034. The

associated cost for Kentucky (based on current military assignment numbers) would be $16,104 in 2027, rising

to $21,170 in 2034. These are approximate numbers, because the actual number of dependents will change

somewhat each year.

Bullard said that in his opinion as Kentucky’s state MIC3 commissioner, member of the national MIC3

executive committee, and executive director of the Kentucky Commission on Military Affairs, Kentucky should

support a national MIC3 dues increase for continuing support to military families in accordance with KRS

156.730/735. He noted support does not require a yes or no vote from our state council (nor does it require

action by the Kentucky General Assembly outside the standard budget process); however, he wanted to

150

ensure everyone’s situational awareness and obtain a consensus from the committee at today’s meeting.

During today’s discussion, state council members acknowledged the situation and expressed no reservations at

all about supporting the proposed dues increase. Commissioner Bullard plans to vote in favor of the increase

at the 2025 Annual Business Meeting.

Commissioner Hardin, superintendent of Hardin County Public Schools, noted that the Kentucky Purple Star

Schools’ two-year reapplication cycle creates an additional and unwelcome administrative burden on already

overwhelmed school staff. Commissioner Bullard noted the cycle is primarily intended to keep points of

contacts updated and schools engaged. Discussion ensued about possibly creating a much shorter

reapplication form to ease the burden, a concept Commissioner Bullard will take to the Purple Star Schools

Advisory Board in his role as chair of that organization.

The council closed by agreeing to hold their next meeting in January 2026, actual date still to be determined

through group consensus in late 2025.

State Training Activities

Commissioner Bullard participated in the annual Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission (MIC3)

leadership retreat (at MIC3 expense) in his roles as Executive Committee member and National Compliance

Chair on April 22-24, 2025 in Lexington, Kentucky. Discussions included strategic planning and support to

Department of Defense, federal agencies and state governors/education agencies.

On March 10, 2025, Commissioner Bullard traveled to Fort Knox, Kentucky to participate in their annual

Educator’s Leadership Council Meeting. He presented local leaders from various community areas, including

elected officials and other community partners, military officials and spouses, and education personnel, with

the MIC3 Compact 101 training module and an overview of related Kentucky activities.

On February 25, 2025, Commissioner Bullard supported Military Kids Day at the Kentucky State Capitol and

Legislative Annex. Over 150 military dependent K-12 school children from Fort Campbell, Fort Knox and the

Kentucky National Guard met with state legislators, with briefings on support requirements and the impact of

military life on families.

On January 6, 2025, Commissioner Bullard shared with Kentucky’s education community and senior state

leaders the findings of the SPEAK Military Children project DOD worked through Penn State University.

Commissioner Bullard was interviewed in detail by Penn State staff for this project. This is a national report

versus Kentucky-specific, though clearly there are lessons for us. Commissioner Bullard’s executive synopsis:

•Penn State University has now released their Department of Defense State Liaison Office (DSLO)-

requested report on An Implementation Evaluation of Four Initiatives Intended to Support Military-

Connected Children’s Educational Success, for which KCMA was interviewed last Spring

oThe report evaluated four specific initiatives and other policies and programs intended to

support military-connected students, which were:

▪Advance Enrollment

▪The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children, as

administered through the Military Children’s Compact Commission (MIC3), for which

KCMA is the state director (as appointed by Governor)

▪The Military Student Identifier program

▪The Purple Star Schools Program, for which KCMA serves as state chair

oThe report developed 10 recommendations:

▪Address the inconsistency in data collection, data reporting, and definitions of

“military-connected students” across initiatives and states, and advocate for

151

standardization of data collection related to military-connected students, to include

operationalization (i.e., how “military-connected student” is defined), data collection,

and data reporting

▪Address awareness challenges related to the initiatives; support the development,

implementation, and sharing of evidence-informed practices for strategic

communication of the initiatives to parents and school personnel

▪Given the inconsistencies in implementation across states and school districts,

advocate for information transparency and expectation management related to the

specific ways the initiatives are implemented in each state and school district

▪Take advantage of modern technology that could be used to enhance support of

military families and promote consistency in initiative implementation by encouraging

states to leverage technology to directly support military families and to support

effective implementation of these initiatives

▪Understand the unique aspects and inconsistencies of communities surrounding

military installations and support initiative standardization, enforcement, and

evaluation

▪Address persistent challenges with student transfers for those with an Individualized

Education Program (IEP), and the variability experienced by students in gifted

programs, by considering ways to facilitate IEP transportability and standardize gifted

qualifications and programming

▪Based on the variability across states in how MIC3 state commissioners are appointed

and their duties executed, consider how the selection and implementation of the MIC3

state commissioner position may impact the execution of MIC3 commissioner duties

•This one has a direct impact on myself as the national MIC3 Compliance Chair,

due to the complex variety of state MIC3 commissioner capabilities and

access, and the frequent indifference of state appointing authorities into their

appointee’s ability to properly fill this role (appoint and ignore/forget, even if

–and in some cases especially if – that appointee is a divisive influence;

fortunately not a factor in Kentucky)

▪Address concerns that lack of funding affects implementation by advocating for states

to fully fund these initiatives and support the use of existing and potential funding

mechanisms to improve their implementation, and to implement other programming

that is evidence-informed or evidence-based

▪Given the lack of quantitative research around military-connected students’ transitions

to new schools and the lack of evidence regarding the effectiveness of programs and

initiatives for military-connected students, support research to understand the scope

of successes or difficulties during transitions to new schools and evaluations to ensure

evidence-informed and evidence-based practices are used to support students during

those transitions

oKCMA will share the report with appropriate education and military points of contact

•On November 15, 2024, we released to a Kentucky education audience the National Military Interstate

Children’s Compact Commission (MIC3) Status of Education: Joint Services State Report. This report

focuses on the national impact of the MIC3 program.

oTop challenges faced by transferring military families are:

▪Enrollment and transfer of records

▪Meeting new state’s graduation requirements

▪Placement and attendance

▪Eligibility for athletics and school programs

152

oHere in Kentucky, virtually all cases are quickly resolved through our school liaison partners

▪Great support from the education community here

oApproximately 38% of placement and attendance issues were related to special education

students not receiving comparable services when transitioning to a new school

On October 28, 2024, we completed collaboration and submission with Fort Knox School Liaison Officer Brenda

Weatherington on the Kentucky Schools Status of Education MIC3 Report to Department of Defense.

Additional Duties

Commissioner Bullard continues to serve as national Compliance Committee chair, which also places him on

the national MIC3 Executive Committee. He was appointed to this role in January 2022. The Compliance

Committee meets bi-monthly and the Executive Committee meets monthly. His activities include ensuring

compliance by all member states and their appointed commissioners; working with state commissioners, as

required, to assist them in resolving MIC3 cases; and submitting a yearly Compliance Committee Annual

Report. This year his committee created and published a new state compliance tracking wheel graphic for use

by state commissioners and the public.

Supporting Legislation

Kentucky’s military community had a relatively quiet state legislative session in 2025. There were no MIC3-

related bills sought or filed.

Month of the Military Child

At our invitation, First Lady Britainy Beshear visited Fort Campbell DODEA schools on April 19, 2025 to promote

the Month of the Military Child, meet installation leaders, and promote military family readiness. We joined

with Kentucky Purple Star Schools to induct a total of 55 new schools into the program the Fall of 2024 and

Spring of 2025, bringing the total number statewide to 138. We continue to utilize the outstanding videos

filmed by the Governor and First Lady in 2021 and 2022 highlighting the Month of the Military Child, and

issued a Governor’s proclamation honoring April’s Month of the Military Child on April 15, 2025. We shared

photos provided by the Governor’s Communications Office on Kentucky and MIC3 social media.

Annual State Dues Assessment

Kentucky received its Fiscal Year 2026 dues assessment for membership in the MIC3 on May 1, 2025, in the

amount of $10,355.00, and submitted it for payment, per Governor-directed memo, to the Kentucky

Department of Military Affairs. The current dues formula for FY26 is outlined in the Compact Rules, Chapter

200, Sec. 2.103 (http://www.mic3.net/assets/rules-book-edits-20190905.pdf). Payments are due by

September 30, 2025. Payment in full was immediately processed by the Department of Military Affairs and

was received by MIC3 by May 13, 2025.

Administrative Requirements

Commissioner Bullard completed and submitted to MIC3 his mandatory Code of Conduct and Conflict of

Interest statements on December 18, 2024. All Kentucky administrative requirements for the fiscal year are

complete with the filing of this year’s Annual Report effective June 30, 2025.

FY25 Kentucky MIC3 Cases (two)

•On May 13, 2025, a newly assigned U.S. Army officer with the University of Louisville ROTC

Department sought assistance on school assignment for his 11-year-old daughter, seeking to place her

153

at the nearest school

oUnfortunately, there was no option to overturn this decision, as the Louisville School District

maintains a “pod” policy where assignment can be to any school in the designated area,

regardless of proximity to the student’s home

▪It was determined the officer’s family was, therefore, not treated any differently than

any other parent in this selection process

•On April 23, 2025, we had a request for assistance from a newly assigned U.S. Army recruiter seeking

to enroll his 4-year-old daughter into Kindergarten

oThe request was unsuccessful because the child would not be 5-years-old by the latest date

eligible for enrollment in Kentucky, and the child was not previously enrolled in Kindergarten

in the originating state of Wisconsin

Military Student Identifier Update

As part of Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requirements, the U.S. Department of Education requires school

districts to identify students who are armed forces family members. This information is a voluntary submission

by parents and guardians. Kentucky’s Student Information System (KSIS) includes a “Military Connections” tab

to track guardian data for those who are active duty military personnel. A student is considered military

connected if a parent or guardian is a member of the armed forces on active duty or serves on full-time

National Guard duty. KDE continues to promote the importance of this data collection to public schools and

districts.

Information related to the collection of this data can be found at Kentucky Department of Education’s website,

KSIS Data Standard – Census (Section G: Military Connections) Sample Data Collection Form for Local Districts

and Schools.

Children

DATE: June 27, 2025

SUBJECT: End-of-Year Report on the Maryland Interstate Compact for Educational Opportunity For

Military Children

State Council

The Maryland State Council Meeting was held on June 23, 2025. The State Council meeting was hybrid and

was attended by the official members of the State Council along with invited military connected

representatives including the Ft. George G. Meade Garrison Commander, Col. Yolanda D. Gore, Department

of Defense Representative to Maryland State Council, School Liaisons from Ft. George G. Meade, Aberdeen

Proving Ground, Joint Base Andrews, Naval District Washington, Ft. Detrick, and NSA Bethesda, a Local

Superintendent, a military parent, representatives of one Local Education Agency with a military base, the

MIC3 Executive Director, MIC3 Deputy Director, the Maryland Compact Commissioner, and members from

multiple Divisions of the Maryland State Department of Education which includes the Executive Director of

the Maryland Public Secondary School Athletic Association. The Athletic Association is part of the Maryland

State Department of Education. Topics on the agenda included discussion of the Maryland Purple Star

Program, Correction of the Citation in State Law, Legal Advisories, a review of cases from the National Office,

and a review of MIC3 finance and the request for dues increase. The MIC3 Executive Director discussed the

last two topics with the State Council. The State Council had a robust discussion of each topic and was

appreciative of receiving the information and the ability to meet in person.

Notable Activities

During April, the month of the Military Child, 23 schools from eight Local Education Agencies (there are a

total of 24 Local Education Agencies in Maryland) were recognized as Purple Star Schools at the Maryland

Board of Education Meeting on April 29, 2025. Local Superintendents, principals, military liaisons, and

military personnel were recognized and celebrated for establishing Purple Star Progams in their schools.

Pictures were taken with those from each school with the State Superintendent and the members of the

State Board.

On December 9, 2024, the Maryland Commissioner who is a member of the Maryland Military Installation

Council (MMIC) was invited to participate in the Meeting and was asked to present on the Interstate

Compact and the Purple Star School Program.

On June 18, 2025, the Maryland Commissioner was invited to participate on a panel to share information on

the Interstate Compact and the Purple Star Program for the Maryland Military Defense Forum. The panel was

facilitated by the Executive Director of the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC). In addition to the

Maryland Commissioner, the panel also included a School Liaison and a military parent.

On April 3, 2025, the Maryland Commissioner attended, with the MIC3 Deputy Director, the Air Force District

of Washington (AFDW) and the Air Force Element (AFELM) Squadron to share information on the Interstate

Compact and its services to children of military families.

Support to Local Education Agencies

Given the role of the Maryland Commissioner as the Assistant State Superintendent for the Division of

Student Support and Federal Programs at the Maryland State Department of Education, presentations and

regular communication are provided to the various Student Services personnel especially including School

Counselors. Regular meetings throughout the school year are conducted with the Coordinators of School

Counselors for each of the Local Education Agencies whereby presentations or materials related to the

Interstate Compact are shared. Further given the avenues of regular communication, issues related to the

Interstate Compact can be handled and resolved.

Support to Military Families

Inquiries regarding educational transitions for military families and their children are handled in various ways

in Maryland. With the number of military installations, the School Liaisons serve a valuable role providing

information to families, connecting families to the proper staff in the Local Education Agencies and schools,

resolving issues, and reaching out to families as soon as they know that the family in being transferred to

Maryland. The School Liaisons also know that they can contact the Maryland Commissioner should further

action be necessary.

The Maryland State Department of Education and the Maryland Commissioner receive inquiries in a variety

of ways. Many families contact the Commissioner directly, or they are directed to the Commissioner from the

sending State, the School Liaison, or personnel from the Local Education Agency or school. The Maryland

Commissioner and members of the Division of Student Support and Federal Programs are very skilled in

communicating and resolving transition questions or issues. Student placement, graducation requirements,

enrollment matters, etc. are resolved on a case-by-case basis. Through meetings, outreach to the families,

and outreach to the Local Education Agency cases are able to be resolved.

Maryland Commissioner

The Maryland Compact Commissioner also serves as the Chair of the MIC3 Rules Committee.

State Council Meetings

The Council met on December 17, 2024, and June 18, 2025.

Case and inquiries received at the Commissioner level which required state-level

assistance.

I received two cases this past year, one of which required my assistance.

Case #1

Sending State: New York

Receiving State: Missouri

Provision: Art V-Placement & Attendance: Educ Program Placement

Synopsis: A Junior moved from New York to Missouri in mid-January. The parent

stated the receiving school enrolled the student in a Civics course which they felt was the same

course as their freshman .5 Government class earned in the New York school. In addition, the

new Missouri school has indicated the student must take the state mandated 1the 2nd semester

of the 1 credit Civics and statewide exam required for graduation. The parent felt the 9th grade

Government course was the same class as the Missouri Civics course, therefore should be

waived under the Compact. The parent said they had spoken with the Principal, Counselor,

School Liaison, and Commissioner regarding the case. The Commissioner reviewed the

161

Return to Table of Contents

Missouri state and district graduation requirements, New York State and district requirements,

and the transcript provided. Based on the above, he determined the earned .5 credit course did

not equate to the Missouri 1 credit course. The receiving district made an accommodation and

accepted the previously earned .5 credit for government and enrolled the student in the current

government course to earn the remaining .5 credit, which was acceptable. Under the compact,

the district must ensure the student can earn the courses necessary to meet the Missouri

graduation requirements for on-time graduation - which includes taking the state mandated

Civics test. In summary, an end-of-course exam is not equivalent to the state Civics exam.

Case #2

Sending State: Kansas

Receiving State: Missouri

Provision: School enrollment challenges for a Navy veteran family

Synopsis: The National Office referred a Navy veteran family who struggled this

past summer to get their student into a school, to the point that the school year was starting and

they had no option to re-enroll the student back in Topeka, Kansas. As the school year

progresses the parent stated it has been a major challenge to commute back and forth and not

miss out on school events. The family currently resided in Kansas City, Missouri. It was

unclear why the family resided in one state and the student attended school in another state.

The case was referred to the school liaisons, however no intervention was necessary from the

state commissioners.

Training and education on the Compact organized by the Commissioner and state council

members provided within the state to stakeholders such as districts, schools, military parents,

state personnel, and other community organizations.

No training was provided in FY2025. However, in previous years, we have held school level

training, and briefed the (8) Missouri DESE Regional Directors. This past year we shared the

online training portal, monthly webinars, and special sessions with the state council and

stakeholders. The school liaisons also shared Compact information with schools and incoming

families. The Council is reviewing opportunities for FY2026.

State-level briefs, communications, and presentations coordinated by the Commissioner

and state council members focused on the Compact.

No state level briefs were conducted in FY2025.

Salute to Service Event

oThe Community Salute to Service in Waynesville, Missouri, is a regional

event that recognizes high school seniors from South Central Missouri

who are joining the military, attending ROTC, or have received

appointments to military academies. The annual event was held on April

25th at Waynesville High School and was open to the public. The event is

a way for the community to honor these future service members and their

families.

Cases and

Inquiries:

The North Dakota Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission reported no cases or inquiries

this year. This outcome is largely attributed to the strong commitment of school districts across the

state to supporting military families, as well as the e`ective e`orts of School Liaison O`icers who

play a critical role in facilitating smooth transitions to and from North Dakota schools.

Training and

Education:

On May 28, 2024, Minot Public Schools hosted a training session led by Lindsey Dablow, Training and

Operations Associate for the Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission (MIC3). The event

was attended by nearly 50 participants, including teachers and administrators from Minot Public

Schools, leadership and sta` from Minot Air Force Base Mission Support, and community

representatives. Both Minot and Grand Forks Public School Districts—each serving Air Force Base

installations in North Dakota—provide annual, timely training on the Military Interstate Compact to

ensure new sta` are well-informed and equipped to support military-connected students.

Distribution of

Compact-related

Information:

Information about the Military Interstate Children’s Compact is communicated to military families by

highly e`ective School Liaison O`icers stationed at each military installation. At the start of each

school year, training is provided for new sta` to ensure understanding of the Compact’s provisions.

School counselors play a key role in reinforcing this knowledge, assisting with student scheduling,

and supporting smooth transitions for military-connected students entering the district.

Supporting military-connected students through the Military Interstate Children’s Compact is an

ongoing, collaborative e`ort. School Liaison O`icers, located at each military installation, regularly

communicate Compact-related information to families and serve as vital bridges between the

military and local schools. Each Liaison O`icer presents monthly updates at district school board

meetings to ensure continued awareness and engagement.

At the school level, annual trainings are provided for new sta`, with ongoing reinforcement by

counseling sta` who assist with student scheduling and facilitate smooth transitions into the district.

Informational materials have been developed to support families and are accessible through the

Mission Support Group website and individual school websites.

State-level Briefs,

Communications,

and

Presentations:

On April 4, 2025, Governor Kelly Armstrong of the State of North Dakota signed a proclamation

declaring April as the Month of the Military Child. In a special ceremony at the Capitol, Governor

Armstrong welcomed more than 50 military-connected students from Minot Air Force Base and

Grand Forks Air Force Base schools to witness the signing. The event underscored the value North

Dakota’s leaders place on supporting military families. While at the Capitol, students had the

opportunity to meet with their respective legislators and gain a deeper understanding of the state

government process.

Compact-related

Actions :

Members of the State MIC3 team began collaborating with the Governor’s Military Commission to

elevate issues a`ecting military-connected students. The Governor’s Military Commission is tasked

with addressing concerns impacting military families—including those in the National Guard, active

duty, and retirees—and includes representatives from multiple state agencies. During the most

recent legislative session, while no bills were introduced that directly a`ected military-connected

children, the commission actively monitored and supported legislation beneﬁting military families.

This included measures such as streamlined interstate licensure transfers to help military

dependents more easily obtain employment in North Dakota. The state commission also

collaborates with School Liaison O`icers and military support personnel to recognize and celebrate

the Month of the Military Child.

During the 2024-2025 academic year, the Thomas D. Rutan MIC3 State Council of Ohio

continued its collaborative EDU-MIL mission to provide steady support to Ohio’s 30,000

military-connected students. A major accomplishment of the Ohio MIC3 is the Purple Star

School initiative which has been adopted in 47 states. It began in Ohio in 2017 with 8 schools

with the goal of easing the transition of Ohio’s PreK-12 military-connected students. The Purple

Star Initiative aims to bring awareness of the Compact to the many schools outside the reach

of military installations and the support provided by School Liaison Program Managers.

Continuing with tradition, the Ohio MIC3 conducted its three State Council Meetings at various

locations throughout the state: August 19, 2024, at the National Veterans Memorial and

Museum in Columbus (central OH), December 16, 2024, at Purple Star recipient Jackson High

School in Massillon (northeast OH), and March 21, 2025, at Wright Patterson Air Force Base

(southwest OH). A major strength of the Ohio MIC3 is its diverse range of stakeholders united

in the mission of easing the transition of Ohio’s military-connected students and their families.

The December 16 Council was honored to have the 2025 Ohio Teacher of the Year, Daneé

Pinckney, an English teacher from Twinsburg High School (northeast OH) and her father,

Sergeant First Class Pinckney (US Army, retired), as guests. Ms. Pinckney grew up as a military

BRAT due to her father’s career and strongly supports Purple Star Schools. Commissioner

LuPiba presented Mr. Pinckney with the Ohio Purple Star Challenge Coin in appreciation of his

service.

Prior to the March 21 Council Meeting, Council members shared information with guests at

WPAFB School Liaison Program Managers’ Superintendents Meeting. This event provided

opportunities for school superintendents to learn about STEM/STEAM initiatives that could

become part of a future military career. In addition, guests learned about the Purple Star

designation offered through the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce from Council

Members Jason Scragg and Commissioner Pete LuPiba. They shared the impact and benefits

of the program for military-connected families. Council Member Tammy Puff, on behalf of

Governor DeWine presented Council Members Shatila Smith and Col. Sean Brazel from

WPAFB with a proclamation declaring April as Month of the Military Child.

At the March 21 Council Meeting, Council Member Tammy Puff, presented Governor DeWine’s

On October 24, 2024, Ohio in collaboration with Virginia, Alaska, South Carolina and Kentucky

hosted the 4th Annual Purple Star USA: National Convening of Schools and Communities. This is

a virtual event held near the Day of the Deployed that provides Purple Star School liaisons,

parents, students, and other state entities the opportunity to collaborate and share best

practices to better support military-connected youth and families.

Also in October, Council Vice Chair Ashley Twedt was recognized as the Richland Foundation’s

Emerging Philanthropist. She partnered with Altrusa of Richland County to provide Purple Star

Libraries for all Purple Star Schools in the county. These libraries include books that are

relevant to military-connected youth and their families and provide opportunities for military-

connected youth to share with peers and staff about their lives.

In November, Military Family Appreciation Month, a collaborative effort between the Ohio MIC3

and the Ohio School Boards Association provided Ohio Schools with certificates to recognize

military-connected students and their families as well as staff members who have served or are

serving in Ohio’s PreK-12 schools. Schools throughout Ohio made proclamations at board

meetings and followed up with a variety of events to recognize the strength, resiliency, and

dedication of their military-connected families.

The Janet Wynn Memorial Award (JWMA) honors an Ohio military family or school-aged youth

that has demonstrated exceptional perseverance, grit, and determination. In its fifth year, this

award honors the memory of WPAFB School Liaison Janet Wynn who passed away in April 2020,

after a fierce battle with cancer. The JWMA MIC3 committee members are friends and colleagues

of Mrs. Wynn: Captain Jason Durell, Dr. Michelle Lewis, Ashley Twedt, and Chad Wyen. Navy

veteran Dr. Cliff Moore of Lewis Center provides the plaque and a stipend for the honorees. The

recipients for the 2024 JWMA were Aubrey and Alanda Hays of Beavercreek High School.

Captain Durell presented Alanda with the award at a Veterans Day ceremony in the community.

The proclamation by Governor DeWine that April was Month of the Military Child (MOTMC) was

honored throughout the state. The Ohio MIC3 celebrated the annual Ohio Military Family Spirit

Week. Council Member Christine Young began Spirit Week in 2020 as a way of uniting students,

families, and staff who were separated during the pandemic. It was shared with the Council

and has become a tradition that also celebrates National Purple Up! Day on April 15. Council

Members Chad Wyen and Jenn Davis further supported MOTMC by partnering with Blue Star

Families in a televised interview that promoted the importance of Purple Star Schools in

supporting Ohio’s military-connected families.

Purple Star School Highland High School’s U.S. Navy JROTC was selected as the Color Guard for

the State of the State address by Governor DeWine in March. Later during MOTMC,

Commissioner LuPiba and Council Member Tammy Puff returned to Highland to present each of

the NJROTC Color Guard cadets with a handwritten note of gratitude from Governor DeWine.

On April 15, 2025 during MOTMC, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce announced

the schools that earned the Purple Star designation for the first time as well as the schools that

renewed their status. To date there are 700 Purple Star Schools in Ohio.

2024 the Ohio MIC3 took part in OhioCares, an initiative by Governor DeWine to connect military

personnel, veterans, and their families to behavioral health services. This collaborative effort

with the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services promotes awareness about

behavioral health issues related to the military. Through this committee council members have

defined what it means to be a military connected student in the state of Ohio.

Case Received at the Commissioner Level

In FY2025, the Commissioner received one inquiry regarding transfer of credits for a student

who moved from Virginia to the Rhode Island high school in her freshman year and is currently

!"#$%&'(

The purpose of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children (S.C.

Code Ann. § 59-46-40) is to remove barriers to educational success imposed on children of

military families because of frequent moves and deployment of their parents by:

A. Facilitating the timely enrollment of children of military families and ensuring that they

are not placed at a disadvantage due to difficulty in the transfer of education records from

the previous school districts or variations in entrance/age requirements.

B. Facilitating the student placement process through which children of military families are

not disadvantaged by variations in attendance requirements, scheduling, sequencing,

grading, course content, or assessment.

C. Facilitating the qualification and eligibility for enrollment, educational programs, and

participation in extracurricular academic, athletic, and social activities. D. Facilitating the

on-time graduation of children of military families.

E. Providing for the promulgation and enforcement of administrative rules implementing the

provisions of this compact.

F. Providing uniform collection and sharing of information between and among member

states, schools, and military families under this compact.

G. Promoting coordination between these compacts and other compacts affecting military

children.

H. Promoting flexibility and cooperation between the educational system, parents, and the

student to achieve educational success for the student.

•The South Carolina State Council Meeting was held on June 17, 2025. This meeting was

held using a virtual platform due to travel distances of council members.

•The purpose was to inform council members of the possible courses of actions for

information and input by the commissioner, and bring awareness to members on the

business of the commission, as well as discuss the council’s plan to develop a training

and awareness campaign for SC. The goal is to continue to increase the awareness of the

compact throughout the state of SC and provide military connected/readiness resources

via state agency webpage for military engagement, and via the SC Parent Portal (not

officially released yet, currently in draft/building stages). The goal also includes

providing compact 101 and 201 training near/on military installations for the military

connected community and schools/districts.

•During the June 17, 2025, meeting, Dr. Priester provided updates to the council members

from the MIC3 Annual Business meeting held in New Mexico, Oct. 2024. Dr. Priester

was unable to attend but pulled all relative information from the ABM minutes provided.

Dr. Priester also provided an update on the social and academic support being provided to

military families in collaboration with district military liaisons. Dr. Priester announced

that currently SC has 15 Purple Star designated districts, four private schools, and three

public charter schools. It is understood that Purple Star is not an entity of MIC3 on the

national level, SC utilizes the training of the compact as a requirement for becoming a

Purple Star designated district in SC. This also assists Commissioner Priester and the

council in increasing awareness of the compact throughout the state of South Carolina.

•During the June 17, 2025, council meeting, Dr. Priester provided information and

necessary course of action for SC’s Compact Statue, SC Code Ann.!"!#$%&'%#(!)*(+(%

Ceremony for high school seniors who had enlisted into the uniformed services. The

ceremony was held in-person on May 13, 2025, at Ft. Jackson Army Installation’s

ACTIVITIES OF THE STATE COUNCIL

The State Liaison Officer (SLO) provides weekly and monthly training sessions for both newly enrolled

and currently enrolled military-connected families to support successful transitions and continuous

engagement.

The South Dakota Council actively supported and promoted the Governor’s Proclamation recognizing

April as the Month of the Military Child. While the official proclamation was issued in Florida, the South

Dakota Council ensured its visibility and relevance across our state.

To further awareness efforts, the South Dakota Council developed and distributed a comprehensive

“Purple Up! Day” Toolkit. This resource was shared with school districts statewide to help them celebrate

and recognize military-connected students during the Month of the Military Child.

South Dakota added a new school to its list of Purple Star Designated Schools: Stagebarn Middle

School in the Meade County School District. This designation acknowledges the school’s commitment

to supporting military-connected students and families.

Commissioner Pettit and School Liaison Mulholland attended the 2023 MIC3 Annual Business Meeting

(ABM) in October in Albuquerque, New Mexico, strengthening South Dakota’s voice and collaboration on

interstate military student issues.

On March 27, 2024, a formal proclamation signing ceremony was held at Douglas School District.

Governor Rhoden visited Vandenberg Elementary School to read the proclamation aloud, officially

recognizing April as the Month of the Military Child. Staff, students, and families were in attendance for

the meaningful event.

Tennessee Military Installations and Locations

Arnold Air Force Base in Tullahoma, TN

In the events leading up to the United States' entering World War II, Arnold Air Force Base was born. During this

time and after the war, troops and citizens began coming in and sparking the growth of Tullahoma, Tennessee,

where it is located. The Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) calls the Air Force bases in Tennessee

home and is involved in most aerospace programs in America. Two additional tenants include centers for both the

Advanced Missile Signature and Naval Surface Warfare.

Buchanan Station U.S. Coast Guard Station

The US Coast Guard's Buchanan Station, adjacent to the Paris Landing State Park marina in Henry County,

Tennessee is the home port for both the Chippewa and the Cimarron. This is an Aids to Navigation Team station,

their primary duties being to maintain buoys, navigational lights/markers, etc., along both the Tennessee and

Cumberland Rivers.

Fort Campbell on the Border of Kentucky & Tennessee

Fort Campbell is a "World Class Community" and is home to the Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne, 5th

Group Special Forces, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, and Air Force Unit 19th Air Support

Operations Squadron – the Army’s only Air Assault Division. Fort Campbell lies on the Kentucky-Tennessee

border between the towns of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and Clarksville, Tennessee. Clarksville, Tennessee, and

Hopkinsville, Kentucky, are patriotic communities. American flags flying from many poles, and yellow ribbons

214

Tennessee Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission (TN-MIC3) 2025 Annual Report June 27, 2025, 4

serve as reminders of those away defending our freedoms. As Fort Campbell Soldiers deploy and return from

missions around the world, families, loved ones, and the community greet them warmly.

Milan Army Ammunition Plant in Milan, TN

The Milan Ordnance Depot and Wolf Creek Ordnance Plant combine to create ammunition for both small and

large arms, to store ammo, and to create boosters and fuses used in heavy armor weapons. Many branches of the

military use the base, as it is located in a strategic area to distribute ammunition to a wide variety of sources. Still,

its primary roles are for the U.S. Army and the U.S. Department of Defense. It is somewhat of an Army base in

Tennessee, but with the specific mission of facilitating ammunition through government contractors.

NSA Mid-South

NSA Mid-South is a Navy base in Tennessee. Its origins take us back to WWI when it was known as Park Field

and was used to provide training for pilots. You’ll find around 7,500 people on the base, making it one of the

largest military bases in the country. It's also one of the largest single employees in the state of Tennessee. Found

in Millington, Tennessee, the Naval base is north of Memphis.

Schools Award Program currently has 72 Purple Star Schools. Tennessee PSSA is helping to educate

educators and families about the Compact.

The Tennessee Purple Star School Award (PSSA) is provided to military-friendly schools that display

a significant commitment to serving military-connected families and students. For a school to be

honored with the Tennessee Purple Star School Award, the school must complete all of the Required

School Activities and one Optional School Activity. All schools that earn the Purple Star School

Award maintain the status for two years.

Required training is via MIC3 Compact 101

Presentations included banners provided by the Tennessee State Department of Education and

Certificates from Tennessee Governor Bill Lee.

Every school in the fifth largest school district, Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools, in the state

is now Purple Star School Award certified.

Tennessee MIC3 Dues Paid to National MIC3

The dues formula was established based on budgets from other Interstate Compacts of similar

size and responsibility.

●In October 2008, the Commission adopted an annual dues formula based on $1.00 per

child of an active-duty military member residing in each member state and the District of

Columbia.

●In 2018, the Commission voted to approve a new formula, effective in FY2020, that was

based on $1.15 per military child.

2024-2025 Vermont State Council End-of-Year Report

To: MIC3 Executive Director Cherise Imai

From: Lisa Helme, VT MIC3 Commissioner

The 2024-2025 operating year was a time of rebuilding for Vermont. After being dormant for

a period, Vermont appointed a new MIC3 Commissioner, and a council was reformed. On

April 16, 2025, the State Board of Education appointed Lisa Helme as Commissioner. She

is the Student Pathways Assistant Division Director at the Agency of Education and comes

from a family with decades of military service. Following that appointment, council

members were recruited. VT MIC3 Council members are listed below. The council held

their ﬁrst meeting on June 12, 2025. Council members were oriented to the purpose and

function of MIC3. Other discussion items included an update on education legislation and

upcoming deployments for the Vermont National Guard. In the 2025-2026 operating year,

the VT MIC3 Council plans to support work by the Vermont National Guard in preparing

families of deploying soldiers to address issues of concern during their soldier’s absence.

Statewide work is being discussed to elevate awareness among school principals on the

presence of the VT MIC3 Council and the assistance available to students of deploying

soldiers.

Cases and Inquiries

1. A family inquired about provisions of MIC3 moving from South Carolina into West

Virginia to live with relatives during a soldier’s deployment, but the soldier’s orders

were for duty outside of country. It brings to light a scenario that I’m sure many military

families experience, but would not be addressed in the current MIC3 language, where a

family wants to move in with relatives in another state during a time when the service

235

member will be OCONUS, but cannot receive the same supports as someone being

ordered to move and serve in another state of the United States.

2. A family from Texas sought MIC3 provisions related to immunizations for up to 30 days.

We were notified that educational services were provided to the family by Brooke

County Schools school district in accordance with MIC3, but later were told by the

district that the family moved to another state before the 30-day period expired.

Training and Education

A video on MIC3 is used as part of the required training for military family points of contact

seeking the Purple Star Award and it may be accessed by all educators at

https://wvde.us/academics/awards-recognition/purple-star-award/military-family-point-

contact-training and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AxPs7uCp68. West Virginia is now

home to 315 Purple Star Schools, which all have trained military family points of contact

familiar with MIC3. At the Student Success Summit, in Charleston, WV on July 17, 2024, a

session on the Common Ground Partnership to educators, administrators and school

counselors included information about MIC3.

Distribution of Compact-Related Information

An information table with Common Ground Partnership and MIC3 information was also set up

at the Student Success Summit in Charleston, WV on July 17, 2024. Additionally, West Virginia’s

MIC3 homepage is hosted on the Common Ground Partnership’s website. A link to MIC3

information was also included in the WVDE’s updated Military-Connected Student Data

Collection and Identification Guidance, released in May of 2025. We introduced Mr. Lambruno

to all military family points of contact and schools at Purple Star Schools by placing an article

about him and MIC3 in the 13th issue of the Purple Star Informer newsletter.

State-level Brief, Communications, and Presentations

At the Common Ground Compact Signing event on November 12, 2024, MIC3 Compact

Commissioner said a few words about the importance of MIC3 to all partners and

representatives from the national MIC3 Office attended the event. Information about the

Common Ground Partnership and MIC3 was provided at the annual state council meeting on

January 14, 2025. The agenda, minutes, and a PowerPoint may be viewed on the MIC3.net

website.

236

Compact-related Actions Undertaken by the Commissioner & State Council

The Common Ground Partnership has welcomed the Compact Commissioner and state council

members to provide guidance and feedback on their efforts to support the success of all

students and ensure school systems have access to and are encouraged to stay informed about

provisions of MIC3. Information about the Common Ground Partnership, its activities, and goals

may be accessed at https://wvde.us/academics/common-ground-partnership/about-common-

ground-partnership. A partnership summary document may also be accessed at this link and

mentions a focus of meeting the needs of military-connected children and their families. The

partnership also encourages all schools in the state to participate in Purple Up Day and Spirit

Week during April, the month of the military child, by offering resources within a Purple Up

Month Toolkit.

4. Case and inquiries received at the Commissioner level

MIC3 Case Synopsis - DODEA Transfer with Scheduling Conflict

Transfer Date: November 29, 2023

Student Grade: 11th Grade

Sending School: DODEA (7-period day)

Receiving School: Public School (4x4 block schedule)

Issue:

Student transferred mid-semester from DODEA school to public school with incompatible

scheduling systems, resulting in course placement conflicts and credit loss.

MIC3 Provisions Applied:

•Article V, Section A (Course Placement): Partially violated - receiving school failed to

honor initial placement in most courses

•Article V, Section D (Placement Flexibility): Underutilized - school did not waive seat

time requirements for most courses

Resolution:

•Status: Partial Resolution

•Successful: AP American Literature: Appropriate placement through staff

consultation

•Unresolved:

oLost credits in Physics 2, Spanish 2, and ROTC 2 due to seat time

requirements

oDisrupted early graduation plans for college preparation

oImpact on student's CLEP exam strategy and college costs

Outcome: Case demonstrates need for enhanced application of MIC3 placement flexibility

provisions when schools operate different scheduling systems. Student's educational

timeline and college preparation significantly impacted despite some accommodation efforts.

Recommendation: Strengthen training on Article V flexibility provisions for mid-semester

military transfers between incompatible scheduling systems

5. Training and education on the Compact

While no trainings were provided during this reporting period, an extensive training calendar has

been developed and shared statewide via letter from our State Superintendent Tony Thurmond

8. Compact-related Actions Undertaken by the Commissioner & State Council

As part of the Commissioner and State Council's compact-related actions, a Military

Appreciation Month letter was distributed on May 1, 2025, to California Purple Star Schools

celebrating Military Appreciation Month in May and recognizing the unique challenges and

sacrifices faced by military-connected families. The letter acknowledged that military children

often experience frequent relocations, parental deployments, and other disruptions that impact

their academic and social lives, while demonstrating remarkable resilience, adaptability, and

strength.

The communication encouraged schools to organize celebratory activities including assemblies

featuring military family stories, classroom discussions about military life, art and writing

projects, and recognition ceremonies, while also emphasizing the importance of providing year-

253

CA End of Year Report | FY2025 4

round resources and support including counseling, academic assistance, and extracurricular

opportunities.

The letter further promoted professional development opportunities for school staff,

recommending training on understanding military children's unique needs, building resilience

and adaptability, effective communication and conflict resolution, and mental health and well-

being support, while directing schools to MIC3 resources for additional engagement ideas and

support materials.
