AI Summary

This resolution recognizes the Arkansas Council for Military Children for its significant work supporting military families in Arkansas. The resolution highlights that over 14,000 Arkansans serve in military forces, with more than 6,500 military children attending public schools in the state. The Arkansas Council for Military Children plays a crucial role by educating military families and school personnel about the rights of military children, resolving education-related issues for military families in transition, and working across public, charter, private schools, and military installations to raise awareness and support. The resolution notes that the U.S. Department of Defense has praised Arkansas's approach, recommending its model to other states, and that the spouse of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has highlighted Arkansas's practices as exemplary. The Military Interstate Children's Compact Commission has also repeatedly recognized the council as a leader in serving military families.
