Youth Education 92 MILITARY INTERSTATE CHILDREN'S COMPACT COMMISSION While the armed services have made great strides in easing the transition of personnel, spouses and, most importantly, children, much remains to be done at the state and local levels to ensure that the children of military families are afforded the same opportunities for educational success as other children. The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children (MIC3) addresses these concerns. Find details on MIC3 and also the Joint Venture Education Forum under the “Parents And Students” tab and “Military Families” link. REGISTRATION & REQUIREMENTS Your child’s school depends on where you live. That same DOE website section features an “Enrolling In School” tab with “School Finder” tab. Or contact your service’s School Liaison Officer. If living in temporary quarters, register your child in a permanent district by requesting a “District Exception” stating a need for continuity in the child’s education. If not seeking an exception, you must register your child in the school closest to your temporary quarters. The Hawaii School Attendance Law stipulates that all students meet certain health requirements before attending any school (public or private) in the state for the first time. These requirements include: • Birth certificate or proof of age • Proof of current address • Document from last school attended • Physical examination completed within one year of school entry • Up-to-date immunization record • TB clearance (written proof of a negative skin test, Mantoux/PPD or chest x-ray performed within the U.S. during the last year) SCHOOLS & CLASSES (CONTINUED) HANALANI SCHOOLS Nestled on six beautiful acres in Mililani, Hanalani Schools has nurtured, challenged, and prepared students for success in both college and life for over 65 years!
