An act relating to military-connected students

This Vermont bill (H 568) requires school districts to provide comparable special education services within 30 days for military-connected students transferring due to relocation, including transferring records and evaluations. It also allows children of active-duty military members to stay in their "school of origin" (previous school) through the end of the school year - or an extra year for 11th graders - during a parent's military reassignment outside the district. The bill applies to all Vermont school districts enrolling military-connected students and eliminates immediate residency proof requirements for remote enrollment. It takes effect July 1, 2026.
