The Military Interstate Compact
The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children is an agreement among states
to alleviate many of the school transition problems military families encounter. States agree to address
specific school transition issues in a consistent way and minimize school disruptions for military children
transferring from one state school system to another. It’s up to the states to work together to resolve
specific transition issues for individual students. The regulations and expectations of the Compact also
apply to students transferring to, from or between Department of Defense Education Activity schools.
As of August 2014, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have passed legislation to become members
of the Compact, which consists of general policies in four key areas:
eligibility, enrollment, placement and graduation.
