This bill expands access to Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools for the children of reserve component members who are on active duty orders. Currently, these benefits are typically limited to active-duty service members, but the legislation ensures that reserve members performing active service with orders for permanent relocation can enroll their dependents in DoDEA schools located at their assigned military installation. If space is available, enrollment is automatic upon request; if the school is full, children are placed on a wait-list. The bill affects reserve component service members (including National Guard and Reserve forces) and their families who are assigned to military installations. The legislation contains no specific funding amount or implementation timeline, as it primarily expands eligibility for an existing education benefit rather than establishing a new program.
