H.R. 5987 — Total Force Family Education Act

This section establishes eligibility for dependents of reserve component members performing active service pursuant to an order for an accompanied permanent change of station to enroll in a Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA) school at the member's permanent station if space is available, with automatic enrollment upon request or placement on a waitlist if space is unavailable. (As background, DODEA schools provide elementary and secondary education for dependents of service members and certain DoD civilians on military installations where adequate local public schools are unavailable.)
