Establishes the "Purple Star School Program" to assist military-connected students and recognize military service.
The Purple Star School Program Act establishes the "Purple Star School Program" in New York to recognize schools and school districts that support military-connected students. A school can apply to be designated as a "Purple Star School" if it has a military liaison, offers resources for military students, maintains a transition program, provides professional development for staff, and has support from the local community or partnerships with military installations. The commissioner will designate schools meeting these criteria.
