School Liaison Officer-Andersen Air Force Base

School Liaison and Support Services (throughout Child and Youth programs): Through support from the School Liaison Officers (SLOs), this support service provides a variety of programmatic strategies and resources that help "level the playing field" for transitioning military-connected students and families. These initiatives prepare schools and installations to respond confidently to the complexities of transitions and provide families the assurance that their children's academic well-being is a priority.

School Liaison Officers serve as the primary liaison between community schools, commanders, and military parents.  Represent, inform, and assist Commands.  Assist military families with school issues.  Coordinate with local school systems. Forge partnerships between the military and schools.

GOALS INCLUDE:

• Identifying barriers to academic success and develop solutions;
• Promote parental involvement and educate local communities and schools regarding the needs of military children;
• Develop and coordinate partnerships in education; and
• Provide parents with the tools they need to overcome challenges to education that stem from the military lifestyle.
