MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 24, 2023 03:57 PM
From: Representative Nancy Guenst
To: All House members
Subject: Providing Children of National Guard/Reserve Members the Same Benefits Under the Military Interstate Children’s Compact
 
Military families face frequent reassignments, posing educational challenges for children transitioning between schools in different states.  The Military Interstate Children’s Compact, which Pennsylvania joined in 2012, assists transferring students by facilitating enrollment, attendance requirements, timely graduation, and other academic issues.  This assistance is available to children of active duty military personnel. 

Children of National Guard and Reserve members are burdened with similar challenges, especially when their families are required to move because of service requirements.  It is for this reason that I believe they ought to receive the necessary benefits afforded by the Compact for children of active duty military personnel.
 
Please join me in supporting legislation to provide children of National Guard and Reserve members the same benefits currently offered exclusively to those of active duty military families.



 


Introduced as HB502
