Community provides options to families


***image1***The KMC school liaison offices are dedicated to assist community partners in providing military families the best possible education for all students by serving as the installation commander’s liaison between the installation, schools and community.

The School Liaison Office neither encourages nor discourages Department of Defense sponsors from pursuing alternative education services or programs. This listing is for information purposes only.
