Success for Military Connected Students Act of 2023
About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · November 8, 2023
Referred to the Committee on Armed Services, and in addition to the Committee on Education and the Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill extends a Department of Defense requirement for schools serving military families to maintain specific student-to-teacher ratios. Currently, this staffing requirement was set to expire after the 2023-2024 school year, but the bill pushes the deadline back to 2029-2030, giving these schools six additional years to meet the ratio standards. The legislation primarily affects Department of Defense Education Activity schools, which educate children of active-duty military personnel and other military-connected students at bases around the world. The bill does not authorize new funding but rather extends an existing mandate that requires adequate staffing levels to maintain educational quality for this student population. Introduced in November 2023, the bill was referred to both the House Armed Services Committee and the Education and the Workforce Committee.
