⭐️ Learning Series: Understanding the Interstate Compact ⭐️

When a school transition raises a specific Compact question, knowing where to find the applicable rule matters.

The MIC3 Compact Rules Book, fourth edition, includes amendments through 2025 and organizes rules for records and enrollment, placement and attendance, graduation, extracurricular eligibility, and dispute resolution.

Use it alongside this month’s training modules to examine the rules relevant to a student’s situation.

Save the Rules Book for future reference, and identify which members of your school team may need access to it.

Happy birthday to the U.S. Navy!

Today, we recognize the service and dedication of Sailors and the families who support them.

We also recognize the Navy-connected students in our school communities. Listening to their experiences, welcoming their families, and offering consistent support are meaningful ways to honor that connection throughout the year.

To our Navy families, thank you for your Service and commitment.

Principals help shape the everyday experiences of students, families, and school staff. Their leadership guides how schools welcome new families, support teachers, and respond to students’ needs.

During National Principals Month, we thank school leaders for their commitment to their communities. For military-connected students, that commitment can mean smoother school transitions, stronger connections with families, and support that continues beyond the first day.

⭐️ Learning Series: Understanding the Interstate Compact ⭐️

Clear communication between schools and families can help identify questions early in a school transition.

The following two resources offer a shared starting point: the Interstate Compact School Personnel Guide and the MIC3 Parent Guide. Together, they explain key Compact provisions related to enrollment, placement, extracurricular participation, and graduation.

Review the guides with your school team and share the parent guide with families preparing to move.
