AI Summary

This bill requires Local Education Agencies (LEAs), which are public school districts, to provide enrollment and services to certain students who are the dependent children of service members, meaning their sons or daughters. Specifically, if a student enrolling in a school district has an active Section 504 plan, an individualized family service plan, or an individualized education plan (IEP) – these are plans that outline specific educational support for students with disabilities or special needs – the school district must ensure those necessary services are in place immediately upon enrollment. Furthermore, for students in the eleventh or twelfth grade who are the dependent children of service members and must move due to military orders, the school district must allow them to continue attending their current high school until they graduate or withdraw, even if they no longer live within that district.
