BREMERTON – The Bremerton School District is considering measures to ease transitions for military children entering the district.

The Military Interstate Compact is a nationwide program that reduces some of the problems for students transferring to new states, such as enrollment, eligibility, placement and graduation, according to Silvia Klatman, Naval Base Kitsap public affairs officer.

“In addition, the Compact provides for a detailed governance structure at both the state and national levels with built-in enforcement and compliance mechanisms,” Klatman said.

The compact only applies to public schools.

Adopting the compact would change a number of standards for transferring military children, including transfer records, course sequencing, graduation requirements and exit testing.

The school board heard a presentation from Dr. Heather Carrell, a school liaison with the Navy, on the compact March 19.
