BOISE – The Idaho Department of Education has launched a new set of online resources that will assist with the educational and administrative challenges unique to military students and their families. The Supporting Military Families webpage is live now on the Idaho Department of Education website.
The website advises school administrators and parents on the benefits available to students through the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children and provides detailed information on appropriate identification of eligible students, course placement, records transfer, absence related to deployment activities and much more. A supplementary Parent Guide to the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children familiarizes families with the highlights of the compact and what it means to them.
Because active-duty service members typically change duty stations every two to three years and Reserve and National Guard members can be activated for indeterminate time frames, military families and students will go through the sometimes-arduous process of enrolling their students and transferring credits multiple times throughout a student’s K-12 education.
