Serves as the governing body of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children (ICEOMC) and works to ease the educational transitions of school-aged, military and uniform-connected students attending public and Department of Defense schools.
The Compact is an agreement among states, “a contract”, to abide by a specific set of administrative rules regarding a particular concern or issue – in this instance, the interstate transfer of military, school-aged youth attending public and Department of Defense schools worldwide. The interstate commission is a quasi-governmental, regulatory body, whose governance is led by member states, and administrated independent of federal intervention.
The Compact also addresses key issues encountered by military families: eligibility, enrollment, placement, and graduation. In addition, the Compact provides for a detailed governance structure at both the state and national levels with built-in enforcement and compliance mechanisms. The goal of the Compact is to replace the widely varying policies affecting transitioning military students.
