Socorro ISD highlights resources for military-connected families at annual expo
Summary
Socorro ISD’s Military Connected Families Expo linked active-duty, retired and transitioning families with district departments, schools and community partners; attendees praised the district’s military spouses association and advisory council as aids for smoother transitions.
The SISD TV News anchor reported that the Socorro Independent School District held its annual Military Connected Families Expo at the District Service Center to connect active-duty, retired and transitioning military families with district departments, schools and community partners.
The expo offered information on enrollment, academic programs, career opportunities, counseling services and military student support initiatives, the anchor said. A military-connected parent attending the event said the district maintains a military association of spouses and year-round events for families and noted the existence of a military advisory council that provides feedback on how the district can ease transitions for military families.
“A year long events for them to participate in,” the military-connected parent said, praising the advisory council’s role in identifying district supports. Another participant said the program helps families who are new to El Paso connect with the local educational system.
Organizers framed the expo as a one-stop opportunity to introduce families to district services and community partners; no formal actions or policy changes were announced during the segment.
