Second lady Jill Biden called for more data and research about military children, during a summit of educators, advocates and others, discussing ways to better prepare school personnel to meet the needs of military-connected children.

“We need that basis and foundation,” said Biden, speaking April 13 to a group that included representatives from many of the 100 colleges and universities who have agreed to participate in Operation Educate the Educators, a program that partly seeks to raise awareness among teachers about the needs of military children.
