AI Summary
This bill establishes a Purple Star Program for public schools in Michigan designed to support military-connected students and their families. By January 1, 2026, the state's education department must create an application process for schools to become designated as Purple Star Program Schools. To qualify, schools must designate a staff member as a military liaison responsible for identifying and supporting military-connected pupils, maintaining a dedicated webpage with resources for these students, developing a student-led transition program, offering professional development about military-connected students, and implementing at least one initiative to recognize or support military families. The bill defines "military-connected pupils" as students who are family members of current or former armed forces members, or who are family members of service members killed in the line of duty. The program aims to provide comprehensive support for students from military families by ensuring they have access to counseling, mentoring, academic planning assistance, and a welcoming school environment that understands their unique challenges.
