Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children

Children of transitioning military families are provided flexibility under the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children.
The Compact addresses the challenges facing military children as a result of their frequent relocations. It establishes a framework for uniform treatment of military children as they transfer between schools, districts, and states. The compact outlines the requirements that schools and districts must adhere to when enrolling and educating children of active-duty military personnel.
Regulatory language and guidance including a memo and FAQ can be found on NYSED’s Interstate Compact webpage.
