One of the NPR stories focused specifically on Department of Defense schools and the important role our schools play in supporting and nurturing these wonderful students. You can read or listen to the audio of that story by going to this site.Other stories in the NPR series cover early education for military kids, public schools that have large military child populations, and helping military children who have lost a parent.
