AI-Generated Summary

Updated April 15, 2026 at 2:59 PM UTC

The Supporting Children of the National Guard and Reserve Act changes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act so that the military student identifier program includes children whose parent serves in the reserve components of the Armed Forces, not just those with parents on active duty. This expands the program’s reach to more military families, affecting students and schools that report and use the identifier.

Key Provisions

  • Removes the phrase “on active duty” from the definition of the military student identifier, allowing the program to cover students with a parent in the National Guard or Reserve.
  • Expands eligibility for the military student identifier program to include children of reserve component service members.
