This bill establishes a process for the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security to share demographic and educational data about military members and rejected military applicants with state education agencies. The data sharing would include information such as educational attainment, Armed Forces Qualification Test scores, military rank, occupational specialty, and separation dates for individuals who graduated from high schools in that state. State education agencies could then integrate this military information into their statewide longitudinal data systems to track outcomes for their graduates. The Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security, working with the Secretary of Education and state officials, must establish this data sharing process within 18 months of the bill's enactment, while maintaining strict confidentiality protections and complying with all applicable federal, state, and local privacy laws. The bill does not specify any new funding requirements.
