Summary

The bill requires county superintendents to let children of service members who are relocating to Maryland enroll in a public school before the normal enrollment period, using a free remote system that does not require an in‑person visit. Parents can indicate whether the child has an IEP or 504 plan, and school boards must ensure the child receives appropriate education without delay. The Secretary of Veterans and Military Families must publish guidance on these procedures.
