Veteran Any individual who has completed their service for any branch of the armed forces and was not dishonorably discharged. *TSDS PEIMS PK-Military indicator code* *TSDS PEIMS Military-Connected indicator code*

11 Military-Connected Children By The Numbers Marines Air Force Army Navy

12 Characteristics of the Military-Connected Child Texas has the 2 nd largest population of militaryconnected students; more than 89,000 attending public schools. Military-connected children move on average 6 to 9 times during their K-12 education experience. 80% attend U.S. public schools including charter and magnet schools. Children from military families are twice as likely as their civilian counterparts to serve in the Armed Forces as adults.

13 Texas Military-Connected Student Demographics

14 Military Student Identifier Under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the federal education law passed in December 2015, requires all public schools to collect data on active-duty military school-age children grades K-12. Texas began collecting the Military Student Identifier in Active-duty, National Guard, and Reserve dependents are currently identified. Children of Veterans are not currently identified. Prior to 2015, there was no reliable or consistent data documenting the academic achievement, attendance, graduation, or other educational outcomes for militaryconnected students.

15 Military-Connected Students in Texas Source: Texas Education Agency, PEIMS Standard Reports Data

16 Transitions Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Temporary Duty Assignment (TDY) National Guard/Reserve Deployment Veteran Status

17 Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Permanent Change of Station (PCS), is when an active duty service member moves with their family from one duty station to another. If the student comes from a single or dual active duty service member parent, then at times the child will be sent to live with a guardian at another location. Transitions can happen at any time of the year.

18 Temporary Duty Station (TDY) TDY is another type of family separation that happens across all branches of the Armed Forces. Require the service member to attend training, school, conference, or a military sponsored event away from their home base multiple times a year. Students are impacted by the separation even if there is no mobility involved on their part.

19 Stressors Associated with Transitions Regardless of the child s age we must take into consideration that they might be having mixed emotions as a result of their transition. Sadness/Excitement Anger/Anticipation Vulnerability/Confidence Loneliness/New Challenges Other things to consider: May be living in temporary housing. Making new friends-who to sit with at lunch? Adjusting to new classmates, teachers, schedules, school policies, curriculum, etc. Possibility of missing deadlines for sports or extracurricular activities. Lack a sense of belonging.

20 Deployment When active duty parent(s) are given military orders to leave their home post for a few weeks, months, or years. Not always a lot of notice. Can be anytime of the year. Source: Killeen Chamber of Commerce

23 Deployment-Reserve

24 Deployment Cycle Military-Connected students and families go through a cycle of emotional stress. The Deployment Cycle: 1) Pre-Deployment 2) Deployment 3) Sustainment 4) Reintegration Pre- Deployment Reintegration Deployment Sustainment

25 Veterans Typically remain at their last duty station. Struggle with combat related injuries such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Family members including children might be tasked with becoming caregivers. Source: George W. Bush Institute Lose benefits they had as active duty members such as child care, and healthcare.

26 Activity 1. A positive daily routine 2. A person or people in which you rely on 3. A group, team, or organization to which you are connected

27 Transitioning into Texas Public Schools

28 Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children Texas adopted the Compact in May All 50 states including the District of Columbia have signed the Interstate Compact for Military Children.

29 Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children-Eligibility The Compact covers children of: Active duty military, National Guard, and Reserve on active duty orders. Members or veterans who are medically discharged or retired for 1 year. *Applies to public schools only*

30 Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children Chapter 162, Education Code, Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity For Military Children Facilitates the timely enrollment of children of military families and ensures that they are not placed at a disadvantage due to difficulty in the transfer of education records from the previous school district(s) or variations in entrance/age requirements. Facilitates the student placement process through which children of military families are not disadvantaged by variations in attendance requirements, scheduling, sequencing, grading, course content, or assessment. Facilitates the qualifications and eligibility for enrollment, educational programs, and participation in extracurricular academic athletic and social activities. Facilitates on-time graduation of children.

39 Terms and Acronyms MOS FRG NCO CG CO CSM FAC Military Occupational Specialty Family Readiness Group Noncommissioned Officer Commanding General Commanding Officer Command Sergeant Major Family Assistance Center

40 Building Support Through Partnerships and Collaborations

41 Discussion Questions 1. Which schools within your region have the largest number of military children? 2. How do your local schools address the transition challenges for highly mobile students? 3. How do districts work together around military student issues? Do you know of any existing partnerships? 4. What can TEA do to strengthen and support LEAs with addressing the needs of military-connected students?

42 Partnerships Among Military, Schools, and Community Leadership School Board Members can invite military leadership to participate in school board meetings. Superintendents, Principals, and other school administrators benefit from learning about military routines and who to contact if any military related issues arise. Provide teachers with training specifically relating to military-connected student barriers and challenges. Keep military and school partnerships engaged. For example: Adopt-A-School Unit Programs. Source: Military Child Education Coalition

43 US Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) Competitive Grant Funding Opportunities Fiscal Year $30 Million Grant awards range from $250,000 to $1.25 million Eligibility requirements include campuses with 15% or greater military-connected enrollment for School Year Funding is contingent upon military-connected student enrollment, but it is expected that the proposed projects may serve all students at the target schools *All grant applications must be submitted through Grants.gov by May 2, 2018*
