School Liaisons for your area are listed in the comment section below! ⬇️

As you may know, School Liaisons are the link between the Instillation, Families, and the local School Districts. They are the subject matter experts on anything dealing with K-12 Educational Support. They have 7 Core Areas that they use to assist our families:

1. School Transition Services (PCS Cycle): School Liaison assists families with school transfers and help "level the playing field" for military children and youth.

2. Deployment Support: School Liaison connects educators with the Navy deployment support system to inform them about the cycles of deployment and the tools available to assist educators in working with Navy children.

3. Command, School, Community Communications: School Liaison serves as subject-matter experts for installation commanders on K-12 issues, helping to connect command, school and community resources.

4. Home School Linkage and Support: School Liaison assists Navy families by gathering and sharing information on home schooling issues, policies and legislation from local school districts, and help leverage Navy Child and Youth Programs resources to support these families.

5. Partnerships in Education (PIE): PIE creates a volunteer network of resources to support installation and community members who have a vested interest in the success of all youth. The role of the School Liaison in the PIE program is to serve as a conduit between Navy commands, schools, and CYP to establish relationships among the individuals and organizations involved in PIE initiatives such as "Adopt-A-School," Career Day speakers, "Saturday Scholars," and job Shadowing.

6. Post-Secondary Preparations: School Liaison leverages installation and school resources to provide graduating military connected students with access to post-secondary information and opportunities.

7. Special Needs System Navigation: School Liaison provides information about installation and community programs and services, make referrals to the Exceptional Family Member Program, and offer assistance in navigating the administrative systems within local education agencies.
