Schools Liaison Officer

Critical duties of the School Liaison Officer include:

• Facilitating communication between local school authorities and senior leadership to ensure school issues are addressed and resolved at the lowest practical level.
• Advocating for the educational needs of military children by working cooperatively with installation and community organizations and school district leadership, educating school personnel and community organizations on school issues affecting military children and attending local school board meetings, school advisory council meetings, ombudsman assemblies, and other installation and community organizations’ meetings, as appropriate.
• SLOs serve as an installation’s point of contact for local child and youth education services in seven core areas: School Transition Support - permanent change of station cycle, Deployment Support, Special Education System Navigation, Installation, School, and Community Communications, Partnerships in Education, Home-School Linkage and Support, and Post-secondary Preparation.

Children with special needs parents remain the first and primary advocates for the rights and needs of their children with special needs. SLOs offer support by providing access to information about programs and services, referring families to special education professionals, and helping families navigate the administrative systems within local education agencies. Providing these services enables parents to make informed decisions for their children.

There is no list of approved schools by the Department of State, however, NDSP does publish several lists of state assisted schools.
