§ 25.006. TRANSITION ASSISTANCE FOR MILITARY
DEPENDENTS. (a) The legislature finds that:
(1) school-age dependents of military personnel are
faced with numerous transitions during their formative years; and
(2) military dependents who move from one school to
another during the high school years are faced with special
challenges to learning and future achievement.
(b) In recognition of the challenges faced by military
dependents and the importance of military families to our community
and economy, the agency shall assist the transition of military
students from one school to another by:
(1) improving the timely transfer of student records;
(2) developing systems to ease student transition
during the first two weeks of enrollment at a new school;
(3) promoting practices that foster student access to
extracurricular programs;
(4) establishing procedures to lessen the adverse
impact of student moves to a new school after the end of the
student's junior year of high school;
(5) encouraging or maintaining partnerships between
military bases and affected school districts;
(6) encouraging school districts to provide services
for military students in transition when applying for admission to
postsecondary study and when seeking sources of funding for
postsecondary study; and
(7) providing other assistance as identified by the
agency.
