This bill extends a requirement for Department of Defense schools to maintain specific maximum student-to-teacher ratios for military-connected students. Currently, the requirement is set to expire after the 2023-2024 academic year, but this legislation would extend it through the 2029-2030 academic year, providing six additional years of staffing protections. The bill affects schools operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity, which serve children of military families both domestically and internationally. No new funding is specified in the legislation, as it simply extends an existing staffing requirement already in place. The bill was introduced in September 2023 with bipartisan support from senators representing both parties.
