Responding to the Needs of Military Students and Military-connected Schools: Perceptions and Actions of School Administrators

School administrators from the Building Capacity Consortium schools (140 schools dedicated to developing military friendly school environments) were surveyed to uncover how they understand the needs of military connected students and actions their school takes to address those needs. The focus of the study is on the role of administrators in shaping the climate and improving the responsiveness to military connected students. Eighty-four percent of respondents expressed a desire for ideas and examples of activities that specifically target military connected students.
