A Military Student Transition Consultant Affiliate (MSTA) program enables districts with military-connected student populations to join a powerful network of nationwide resources to support smooth transitions and answer questions to student and family concerns. The Affiliate program provides for deeper understanding of military-related student resources in the community and on the installation.
The MSTA is an employee of the LEA (Local Educational Agency) assigned to a campus. In addition to this Guidance Professional's responsibilities, participation as an Affiliate provides additional resources and support through the MCEC network to assist military-connected students.
Contract with the MCEC for the complete and comprehensive MSTC Affiliate package.
Designate your district Point of Contact. The Affiliate may be considered an “additional duty.”
Provide the MCEC with the name and contact information of your Affiliate Designee. MCEC will take it from there!
Contact your MSTA before, during and after your move to ensure a smooth transition.
