GOLDEN, DeFRANCISCO, LAVALLE, LITTLE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Education AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to an interstate compact on educational opportunity for military children THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that military families are reassigned postings on a regular basis, with the result that most military children will have six to nine different school systems in their lives from kindergarten to 12th grade; and further finds that such reassignments can result in transition chal- lenges for these children who must start their lives over in new cities and bases, changing homes, schools, friends, and relationships. The legislature further finds and declares that it is a matter of equity, fairness, and in every sense in the public interest to provide the chil- dren of military families opportunities for educational success, and to assure that they are not penalized or delayed in achieving their educa- tional goals by inflexible state processes and procedures. S 2. The education law is amended by adding a new article 40-B to read as follows: ARTICLE 40-B INTERSTATE COMPACT ON EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR MILITARY CHILDREN SECTION 1982. INTERSTATE COMPACT ON EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR MILITARY CHILDREN; COMMISSIONER AUTHORIZED TO PARTICIPATE. 1983. DEFINITIONS. 1984. ENROLLMENT. 1985. GRADUATION. S 1982.
