The bill amends Florida Statutes to enhance educational opportunities for military children by revising the repeal date of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2028. Additionally, it mandates the Department of Education to facilitate the development of memoranda of agreement between school districts and military installations, focusing on strategies to assist children of active duty military personnel in transitioning to Florida schools.

Key provisions include the requirement for the Department of Education to create and implement a training module aimed at expediting the transfer of K-12 students' education records from out-of-state schools. This training module must be provided to each district school board, which is then responsible for disseminating it to all public and charter K-12 schools within their jurisdiction. Furthermore, district school boards are required to make this training available to employees who work directly with military students and their families. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
