                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

PURPOSE (§ 22.1-369)

It is the purpose of this chapter to remove barriers to educational success
imposed on school-age children of federal employees serving under orders
pursuant to Title 22 or 50 of the United States Code because of frequent moves
and service of their parents by:

1. Facilitating the timely enrollment in school divisions of children of federal
employees serving under orders pursuant to Title 22 or 50 of the United States
Code and ensuring that such children are not placed at a disadvantage due to
difficulty in the transfer of educational records from a local education agency
in a sending state or a foreign education agency in a sending country or
variations in entrance or age requirements between local education agencies in
sending states or foreign education agencies in sending countries and school
divisions in the Commonwealth;

2. Facilitating the student placement process in school divisions through which
children of federal employees serving under orders pursuant to Title 22 or 50 of
the United States Code are not disadvantaged by variations in attendance
requirements, scheduling, sequencing, grading, course content, or assessment
between local education agencies in sending states or foreign education agencies
in sending countries and school divisions in the Commonwealth;

3. Facilitating the qualification and eligibility for enrollment, educational
programs, and participation in extracurricular academic, athletic, and social
activities in school divisions;

4. Facilitating the on-time graduation in the Commonwealth of children of
federal employees serving under orders pursuant to Title 22 or 50 of the United
States Code; and

5. Promoting flexibility and cooperation between local education agencies,
parents, and students in order to achieve educational success for students.
