CONTACT INFORMATION FOR LOCAL MILITARY SCHOOLS LIAISONS

School liaisons are located at each installation and are the main contact for military families, local school systems and installation leadership for school-related matters pre-K through grade 12. School liaisons are experienced professionals who support, advise and build partnerships with the civilian and military community to help address common education challenges of military families. School liaison support is available at no cost and open to all Defense Department identification card holders, educators who serve military students, and community partners involved with pre-K-12 education.
