Update from Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill Highlights New Law for Military Families

A recent update from Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill highlights a new law passed by Senate geared towards reduce educational challenges for children of military families.

"A new law passed unanimously by the Senate will help children of military families who face frequent reassignments with the challenges of moving between schools in different states.

Children of National Guard and Reserve members now have the same help provided to those of active-duty military families through the Military Interstate Children’s Compact. The compact provides a consistent set of policies that make getting started in a new school, joining extracurricular activities, facilitating enrollment and meeting graduation requirements as easy as possible for military children.

Throughout my tenure, I have worked to make it easier for military spouses relocating to Pennsylvania to continue their vocation in any field. This law upholds the commitment that Pennsylvania supports military families.

The law is designed to minimize educational disruption, making the relocation less stressful for parents and children. "
