A NEW SCHOOL FOR YOUR CHILD

HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

For your kids, moving to a new duty station means changing schools. Here's what you and your children need to know about making the transition a smooth one.

AN INTERSTATE AGREEMENT TO MAKE THE TRANSITION EASIER

The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children ( mic3.net) is designed to make the school switch easier for military families moving between states. The Compact is applicable in all 50 states and helps in areas of enrollment, placement and attendance, eligibility and graduation.
