What is a Liaison
WHAT IS A PARENT LIAISON?
A Parent Liaison is a KUSD staff member who works to bridge the gap between home and school by helping parents get the information and support they need to ensure their child’s academic and social success. As a parent, you have a private link, connection, and bridge to your child’s school.
