Family and Community Partnership Liaison

What is the Family and Community Partnership Liaison Project?

The aim of the Family and Community Partnership Liaison project is to build the capacity of Educational Service Center (ESC) personnel and other local education officials to identify, engage, support and ultimately meet the needs of Ohio’s most vulnerable students and their families. There are seven vulnerable population groups that will be addressed through this work: 

  1. Students with disabilities
  2. English learners 
  3. Migrant families
  4. Justice involved youth 
  5. Military families 
  6. Students experiencing homelessness
  7. Students in foster care

A Family and Community Partnership Liaison working through local Educational Services Centers is managing a regional process designed to identify gaps in services and ultimately link students and families to appropriate state and local community resources.
