Educational performance of military-connected children : report

Abstract

In 2012, the Department of Defense reported there were 23,710 military connected students in the state. PowerSchool data indicates there were 7,853 students during school year 2013-14 and 6,175 in school year 2012-13. Both sets of data include military connected students with at least one parent or guardian serving Active Duty, National Guard or Reserves. By analyzing and reporting the number of military connected students, school districts can also better understand their student population and develop services (such as counseling and support groups) that will address unique needs of military connected students. During FY 2012-13, twelve districts received more than $2.3 million in federal Impact Aid.
