Children of Active Military Personnel
The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children is a fifty-state agreement to reduce the educational barriers imposed on children of active duty military personnel as a result of the frequent moves and deployment of their parents. New York adopted the terms of the compact into state law (N.Y. E.D.N. Law ยง 3300-3318) in 2014. As a result of the compact, schools must provide more flexibility in educational and graduation requirements for this group of students.
