The family liaisons will work with the schools, the students, and <br /> the families to provide information as well as service linkages. The staff of the <br /> Regional Of�ice of Education will continue to support the efforts through the truant <br /> �oc� A�visoRY soaRo: officers and the assistant regional superintendent of schools.
