Equal Access to Military Base Schools for Reserve Component Families.
This act grants dependents of Reserve Component members performing active service under a permanent change of station (PCS) order the right to attend Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) schools on the military installation. This change ensures educational stability and equal access for children whose families relocate due to the service member's active duty assignment. Enrollment is automatic if space is available, otherwise, a wait-list applies.
Key points
Children of reservists on active duty with accompanied permanent change of station orders gain eligibility for DODEA schools.
The law ensures these families receive the same educational access benefits as active-duty families during relocation.
Enrollment is guaranteed if the school has sufficient capacity to accommodate the dependent.
