Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children
The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children is an agreement among U.S. states designed to ease educational transitions for children of military families. It addresses challenges these students face, such as frequent relocations and varying state education standards, ensuring they receive a consistent and quality education.
The compact covers key areas like enrollment, placement, and graduation requirements, allowing military children to enroll in schools more easily and receive credit for coursework completed in other states. By promoting cooperation among states, the compact aims to minimize disruptions in the education of children from military families, supporting their academic success.
