School Liaison Program

Parents have many questions about their children’s education, and military life can create even more. If you’re looking for answers to your education questions, your installation school liaison can provide you with the support you need.

The School Liaison Program offers an array of services and resources to support children, parents, installation leadership, schools and the surrounding community. School liaisons assist with transition support, including school selection, transfer or credits and youth sponsorship referrals, and also can help military-connected families at any time with all education-related matters pre-K through 12^th grade. Reach out to your school liaison as soon as you have a question or concern.
