School Liaison Services
The School Liaison works in conjunction with Child, Youth and Teen Programs and the local school community to address educational issues involving military children.  Through partnering with the local and military community, the School Liaison acts as a communication link between the installation and surrounding school districts.
Purpose
To provide a link between military families and local schools to assist them with those unique problems facing military children including school transition, deployments, differences in curriculum between stateside and overseas schools, and Department of Defense Schools and civilian Schools.

Transitioning a Special Needs Student Checklist
Before you leave your current duty station:

  1. Contact your local special education counselor/director and request assistance as to what should be done before the transition to the new school.  Write or contact the special education director for the state that you are going to and request local policies.
  2. Schedule an Annual, Review, and Dismissal meeting to discuss the progress your child has made since your last Individualized Education Program (IEP) review.  Ask for written suggestions that may help your child and the staff at the new school.
  3. Request a copy of your child’s complete educational record to include a copy of the latest IEP.  Hand carry all records, samples of your child’s work, and other information related to your child’s education.
  4. Contact your local Marine Corps Exceptional Family Member Program (link to MCCS EFMP website) Coordinator.  They can assist you with identifying resources at your new duty station.
