You will also note from my letter that my son has a slightly different situation in that he is a military child, military child often have harder times in school, including higher than normal risk of high school drop out, an average of 6-9 different school between kindergarten and 12th grade, and dealing with different school ciriculims and high school graduation requirements nationwide. Laws and Interstate Pacts such as the Military Interstate Children's Compact Commission were created to help military children to succeed in school and if they cannot to assist in finding the resources needed to allow them to succed. I highly encourage you to get involved in your state if they are not currently members of the MICCC and tell them they need to pass a law to help these children to better succeed. Find out if your state is part of the MICCC here.
Today the DCoE released a new "Children of Military Service Members Resource Guide" that they highly encourage care providers as well as schools to read and learn from, this is in preparation for a webinar titled "Supporting Military Children in School Settings" later this month.
