Joint Venture Education Forum

With the support of the late Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, the JVEF was established in 1999 as a partnership between the Department, military and community stakeholders as a venue to address mutual concerns through meaningful discussion and relationships to promote educational opportunities for Hawaii’s children. Partnerships resulting from the JVEF improve our public schools, supports for military families and children, and community relations for both cultures.

Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commission (MIC3)

While the armed services have made great strides in easing the transition of their personnel, their spouses and, most importantly, their children, much remains to be done at the state and local levels to ensure that the children of military families are afforded the same opportunities for educational success as other children. The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children​ addresses these concerns.

Commissioner: John Erickson

Read the MIC3 Parent Guidebook for more information or take Compact 101 Training which provides participants with a brief history of how the Compact began followed by an overview of the legal requirements applicable to public and DoDEA schools educating military-connected children.
