9 free public education in the local area of the Depart10 ment of Defense installation; and

12 able to provide a suitable educational program for

13 such dependents. A suitable educational program, as

14 determined by the Secretary of Defense, is a pro15 gram comparable to a program of free public edu16 cation provided for children in similar communities

15 than five consecutive school years, unless the Sec16 retary of Defense determines, for good cause, that

17 the enrollment of such dependent child of a civilian

18 employee should be extended. Extensions may be

19 made for one school year at a time. The Secretary

20 of Defense shall consider the educational well being

21 of the child in making the good cause determination
