AN ACT RELATING TO MILITARY AFFAIRS AND DEFENSE -- MILITARY CHILD ACT

Summary

The Military Child Act defines a military‑connected student as a dependent of an active‑duty service member or Rhode Island National Guard member. It lets these students enroll in any Rhode Island public school district by remote registration, without needing to appear in person or provide proof of residency at the time of enrollment, as long as military orders show a parent will be stationed in the state. Proof of residency must be supplied within ten days of the student’s first day of school.
