The School Liaison Program is the primary point of contact between the military installation, the local schools and school districts, transitioning families and the community at large. The Navy School Liaison Program helps installation and regional commanders work with state departments and local school districts to foster awareness of the stressors on military families brought about by frequent transitions and extended deployments. These education professionals are located on all major Navy installations and serve as liaisons between Navy families and schools.
How Can a School Liaison Assist Families? Choosing the right school for their children is a priority for military parents. This handbook will educate you on the local school options and help guide your choices as you plan for your child’s educational needs.
