SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION:

Educational opportunities for certain children established. Establishes certain rights and privileges for any school-age child who is a dependent of a foreign service employee or civilian member of the Armed Forces of the United States under federal orders when the parent produces documentation indicating that he is required to move in order to perform his job responsibilities and such move results in the student's relocation from another state to a school division in the Commonwealth, including rights and privileges relating to educational records, enrollment, placement, attendance, extracurricular activities, and graduation.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Educational opportunities for children of certain foreign service employees and civilian employees of the Armed Forces of the United States. Requires the provisions of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children to apply to school-age children who are dependents of foreign service employees and civilian members of the Armed Forces of the United States under federal orders when the parent produces documentation indicating that he is required to move in order to perform his job responsibilities and such move results in the student's intrastate, interstate, or overseas relocation, including any such relocation that results in the student attending a Department of Defense Education Activity school. The bill requires any such student who is in the eighth grade to be permitted to apply for admission to an academic year Governor's school in the same manner as an eighth grade student to whom the provisions of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children apply.
