This bill amends section 1003.05 of the Florida Statutes to enhance educational opportunities for children of military families transitioning to Florida schools. It requires the Department of Education to develop and implement a training module focused on facilitating and expediting the transfer of K-12 education records from out-of-state schools. This training module is to be provided to each district school board, which must then ensure that it is made available to all public and charter K-12 schools within their jurisdiction.

Additionally, the bill mandates that district school boards offer this training to employees who work directly with military students and their families. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025. The amendments aim to improve the support and resources available to military families as they navigate the educational system in Florida.
