School liaisons do much more than help with school transitions. They serve as vital connectors across education systems. From deployments and special education to homeschooling and emotional support, school liaisons help families find solutions and feel seen. One school liaison describes taking a “point guard” approach, pivoting between families, schools, commanders and support agencies to meet student needs. With this hands-on support, students can do more than adjust; they can thrive. Hear how one student overcame relocation struggles and found success with a school liaison’s help.
Host Bruce Moody speaks with School Liaison Program Manager Venetia D. Waters, Ed.D., at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida. They discuss how strong community partnerships and proactive communication are key to supporting military-connected children every step of the way.
