Military-connected students often face frequent moves, school transitions, and the emotional toll of deployment. Students are those with a parent or guardian currently serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard, or Reserve forces. Iowa also identifies military-connected students as those with a parent or guardian that is a Veteran or retired from military service.
