No matter where you are stationed, a School Liaison Officer (SLO) is available to support military Families and students through all types of transitions. SLOs provide assistance before and after PCS moves, as well as during transitions related to deployments. Additionally, we support families as students progress through key educational milestones—moving from elementary to middle school, middle school to high school, and transitioning to post-secondary opportunities such as college, military service, or entering the workforce.
Transition Support
We understand that military transitions for children include much than school plans and enrollment. We have a number of resources to help make your move as easy as possible for the kids including:
The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children (MIC3) addresses key transition issues military Families experience, including enrollment, placement, attendance, eligibility and graduation. All 50 states have signed the compact and are in varying stages of implementation and/or compliance. The compact applies to children of Active-Duty service members, National Guard and Reserve members on Active-Duty orders and members or veterans who are medically discharged or retired within the past year.
If you feel that you have an issue that the Compact can help address, talk with your SLO. The SLO is able to connect with both the sending and receiving school to assist in resolving the issue. If it is not possible to resolve the issue locally, the SLO will help you work with the state commission and if needed, the national office.
