The Washington Senate Education Committee has taken up a measure that would ease the transition for children of military parents when they transfer into a state school district.
Eleven states have already approved an interstate agreement that standardizes tests, graduation requirements, immunization regulations and sports eligibility rules for military children.
Officials from Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base testified before the committee in favor of the bill.
An attempt to ratify the agreement failed in the 2008 Legislature. (AP)
