Welcome

The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy, in collaboration with the military Services, is inviting selected communities that are gaining military dependent students due to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) and other rebasing initiatives to attend a DoD Conference on Education for Military-Connected Communities.

The Department recognizes the work of schools, communities, states and the military Services who promote school transition support and provide quality education for military students during this time of large-scale relocation of families. DoD welcomes the opportunity to work with these communities to enhance educational opportunities for children.

To augment the work already started by many communities, the DoD Conference on Education will address financial options, facilities expansion, school choice, and quality education. Best practices, strategies and resources also will be shared with participating communities.
