RE: Supporting Compact Implementation in States
As the MIC3 Commissioner and Ex-officio Members of the Commission, our role is vital to supporting successful educational transitions for military families and children, and implementation of the Compact. We encourage you to:
- Work with your Military Family Education Liaison and State Council to educate and disseminate information on the compact to your districts, schools, and stakeholders.
- Utilize the resources developed by the Commission - through your colleagues and standing committees - to assist you in this effort.
- Discuss how you inform or provide training for districts and schools of their responsibilities and rules under the Compact
The Commissioner Toolkit, developed by the Training Committee in 2019 and recently updated by the Communications and Outreach Committee, outlines the resources and tools developed by the Commission to support your program including:
- General and Commissioner Specific Information
- Operations and Administration
- Establishing your State Council
- Implementing the Compact in Your State: Media Resources; Webinars
- U.S. Department of Defense Information
The Commission also has School and Parent Toolkits to disseminate to your State Department of Education, districts and stakeholders.
Finally, we encourage you to showcase how you, your districts and schools, or state has assisted military kids under the Compact by submitting a short video under the new Successful Compact Transition Video program we released in October 2020. For more information, click here.
Should you have any questions or need additional assistance, please contact the National Office at mic3info@csg.org or call 859-244-8000.
