The coalition expects to focus its efforts on the U.S. Department of Education; military and civilian leaders of the military services; members of Congress; state-level education officials; service members and spouses; and the news media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their priorities are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Promoting rigorous education standards and access to high-quality education in public schools attended by military-connected children.<\/li><li>Raising awareness about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/2018\/09\/14\/heres-why-your-childs-school-is-asking-whether-youre-active-duty\/\" target=_blank>Military Student Identifier <\/a>required by the Every Student Succeeds Act, which requires states to collect information about military-connected students\u2019 test results as a distinct subgroup.<\/li><li>Advocating for the <a href=\"https:\/\/rebootcamp.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/2017\/08\/15\/education-compact-helps-military-kids-on-the-move\/\" target=_blank>Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children<\/a>, which has been adopted by all 50 states and the District of Columbia, to address transition issues commonly faced by military children as they move from one school district to another.

MCEC long advocated for the Military Student Identifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMilitary families consistently tell us that the quality of their children\u2019s education is one of their greatest concerns. They worry that their military service will affect their children\u2019s academic outcomes,\u201d said Eileen Huck, government relations deputy director of the National Military Family Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo parent should have that concern, especially one who is sacrificing to serve our country. While many improvements have been made, much remains to be done to ensure that military-connected kids receive the best possible education regardless of where their parents are stationed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with the other members of the Coalition to provide information and advice to policymakers to help them create policies to support military-connected children and families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other members of the new coalition include the Association of the United States Army, National Association for Federally Impacted Schools, National Math + Science Initiative, and Military Impacted Schools Association.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New coalition
