Michigan SB0211 creates a purple star program for public schools to support military-connected pupils.

Michigan SB0211 amends the Michigan Compiled Laws to establish a purple star program for public schools. This program includes resources for military-connected pupils and their families, such as information on relocation, enrollment, academic planning, and support services. Public schools must designate a military liaison to assist these pupils. Schools can qualify for a purple-star-program-school designation by meeting specific criteria, including offering professional development for staff and maintaining a transition program for pupils.
