Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) serves approximately 750 military-connected children and their families, primarily from U.S. Army Fort Detrick. FCPS recognizes the unique challenges these families face due to frequent relocations. To provide military-connected children with equal opportunities for academic success, FCPS enforces the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children. This ensures that school personnel, including counselors and registration staff, are equipped to address the common issues that arise from regular moves and deployments.
FCPS stands ready to partner with families to ensure the best outcomes for students. The resources found below will assist in navigating the system and finding timely and relevant information.
FCPS welcomes you and your family and extends a sincere thank you for your service!
