Promoting educational stability for children of military families.
Effective date 6/11/2026.
Summary
The bill changes residency rules so that children of service members who move to Washington, a bordering state, or are displaced by a military exigency can enroll in local schools without delay. Parents must submit military orders and proof of residence within 90 days, and districts must accept applications before the child arrives, using any reasonable method. It also requires schools to honor existing IEP or 504 plans from other states and provide comparable services quickly.
