I’m thankful my family is now on a path of certainty.</strong><br /><strong>MCEC’s care made all the difference.”</strong><br /><strong>~ Rebecca, Parent</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><br />Rebecca was attending an event on base. Being a military spouse and parent, she struck<br />up a conversation with an MCEC Community Coordinator who serves as liaison to the local military-connected community. It became clear that the transition issues for which Rebecca was seeking advice could more appropriately be addressed by Mark Patton, one of MCEC’s Military Student Consultants (MSC).<br />Rebecca’s family recently transitioned to a new duty location, and the new schools would not recognize the prior schools’ testing, resulting in both of Rebecca’s children being denied gifted education classes. Mark contacted the School Liaison and the Military Interstate Children’s Compact Commissioner (MIC3) to help ensure the district placed the kids appropriately.<br />Mark also introduced Rebecca to MCEC’s SchoolQuest, a free online tool to help military parents better prepare for critical transitions. When Mark learned the children were “Gold Star” kids, he also introduced Rebecca to benefits and assistance available through Gold Star<br />Families, revealing opportunities she hadn’t known to explore.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Connecting to MCEC opens many doors, not only to our free resources, but to the<br />wider community of coalition partners that can offer support and assistance for military<br />families.<br />Thanks to the generous and abiding donations of our supporters, our MSCs can remain responsive, and vital resources can remain free.</p> <p> </p></div> </article> <aside> <figure> <img src="https://www.best-charities.org/media/images/logos/logo_74-2889416_7026016.jpg" onerror="this.src = 'images/spacer.gif';" alt="charity logo" /> </figure> <p class="address">909 Mountain Lion Circle <br />Harker Heights, Te  76548</p> <p class="phone">254-953-1923</p>  <div class="calltoaction" style="float:left;width:100%;border:thin solid #243949;font: 13px/15px Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;margin-bottom:30px;overflow: hidden;word-wrap: break-word;"> <div class="title" style="width:100%;height:30px;background-color:#243949;text-align:center;padding-top:8px;"> <span style="font-weight:bold;color:#fff;">ACT NOW</span> </div> <div class="content" style="padding:7px;text-align:center;"> <div class="info" style="font-weight:bold;margin-bottom:10px;">Join our Coalition.
