School Liaison

 
 
Child & Youth Education Services, School Liaisons (SL) are committed to outreach, advocacy, and partnership initiatives that generate real-time solutions for military-connected students in grades K through 12th. The goal of the SL is to deliver unparalleled educational advocacy, outreach, and partnerships for military-connected students and families as they face global educational challenges and transitions.
 
 
 
The SL serves as the primary link between schools, leadership, and military families pertaining to K-12 educational issues. The job of the SL involves informing and linking military families to the resources and information needed to maximize the educational opportunities to ensure academic success for all military children. Some educational topics in which the SL can offer specific supports include: school enrollment, transfer of school records, course placement, graduation requirements, extracurricular involvement, special education, deployment support, scholarships, school transitions, youth sponsorship, and more. Military members and their families, public and private school personnel, home-schooled students and providers, and anyone else who has an interest in military child education are encouraged to explore this site and connect with the Minot AFB School Liaison.
