Liaison Division

The Liaison Division’s work involves building connections and networks among B.C.’s education partners, schools and districts, so we can all work together to improve student achievement.

Generally, the Division is responsible for leadership development, partner liaison, stakeholder analysis, team building for learning results, ministry/field connections, and information and communication. It places a strong emphasis on communications that share best practices, and is responsible for bringing field-based information to the deputy minister’s and minister’s offices.

Division staff play a trouble-shooting role to help districts and school personnel resolve emerging issues. Liaison also facilitates connections between ministry divisions and the school districts and partner organizations to improve implementation of ministry policy, initiatives and directions.

Specific Division responsibilities include:

  • planning and managing meetings/teleconferences with superintendents, trustees, principals, parents and others as needed
  • contacting, advising and assisting superintendents new to their roles, particularly those in rural districts
  • participating in the Education Advisory Committee
  • facilitating and managing the appointment of special advisors as required
