School Transition Response Team
The School Transition Response Team (STRT) is made up of youth and adult leaders representing a variety of on and off post organizations. The purpose of this team is to provide a smooth transition of military connected students into the local school setting. This team will develop action plans, coordinate resources and sponsorship efforts in order to facilitate smooth school transitions. Those interested in contacting the STRT should call the Fort Riley School Liaison Officer at 785-239-1648 or 785-240-3261.
