Bill > LD31

This bill addresses school enrollment for students with parents in the military by adding new provisions to Maine's education laws. Specifically, the bill requires school administrative units (local school districts) to provide flexible enrollment options for military-connected students whose parents are being transferred within the state. These options include allowing the student to continue attending their current school, enrolling in their prospective school before actually establishing residence, or enrolling in a school near where they will live with a non-custodial guardian. An important additional provision ensures that if such a transfer occurs during the student's final year of high school, it must comply with existing regulations about student transfers. The bill aims to reduce educational disruption for children of military families by providing more flexibility in school enrollment during parental transfers, recognizing the unique challenges faced by military families who may need to move frequently.
