Military-Connected Educational Partnership Council

McConnell AFB and Derby Public Schools have developed a Military-Connected Educational Partnership Council. This council includes senior leadership from both McConnell and the school district in a collaborative effort to enhance communication, continue to build our educational partnership and work in unison to improve experiences in the district for military-connected families. The council will also be empowered to recommend solutions directly to military and educational decision-makers.

The leadership council will meet quarterly, first in closed session to address current initiatives and needs. An open forum will follow where military-connected parents can address the council directly to share ideas, feedback or concerns.
