Introduced Text

Military-connected students can enroll remotely if military orders confirm parent or guardian's Rhode Island station.

This bill defines "military-connected student" as a dependent of an active U.S. military service member or full-time reservist. It allows these students to enroll remotely in Rhode Island schools by presenting military orders showing the parent or guardian will be stationed in the state during the current or next school year. The Rhode Island Board of Education must permit this remote enrollment without charge and without requiring physical presence for registration. Residency proof is required within ten days of attendance.
