The Purple Star Liaison
Purple Star Liaison Training
The Purple Star Award requires schools to identify a liaison who serves as the point of contact and support for military-connected youth and families. The Purple Star Liaison may be a teacher, a Family Resource Youth Service Center Coordinator, a guidance counselor, or other school staff. Schools may choose more than one liaison or create a committee that supports the liaison.
Purple Star Liaison Requirements:
- Be present in the school building during school hours and accessible to students and families.
- Understand the military community and the impacts of being a military family.
- Help raise school awareness on the unique challenges faced by military-connected youth.
- Provide practical support to military-connected students and families.
- Coordinate maintenance of the designation by facilitating recognition activities and updating the website as needed.
