Education - Dependent Children of Service Members - Advance Enrollment Procedures

SB 601 requires Maryland county superintendents to allow advance enrollment for dependent children of service members relocating due to military orders. It mandates a remote registration process (no fees or in-person visits) and requires schools to coordinate with parents and sending states to avoid delays for children with disabilities receiving special education. The bill also requires the Secretary of Veterans and Military Families to publish clear information about enrollment procedures and available support services. This directly affects military-connected students, their families, and school districts across Maryland.
