A Special Message to Military Families

     ...from the desk of Ronald P. Walker, Superintendent:

 

I would like to welcome you to Geary County USD 475 and Fort Riley! Geary County USD 475 serves the cities of Junction City, Fort Riley, Milford and Grandview Plaza.

 

Our district enjoys a successful partnership with Fort Riley that was established 

sometime before 1950. Since that time, our administrators, teachers and support staff have walked hand in hand with the post through wars in Vietnam, conflicts during the cold war, Bosnia, Iraq and now, Afghanistan. We continue to develop this partnership each year as we learn more about modularization of the U.S. Army and the new mission of Fort Riley.


Our role is to make transitions for families as smooth as possible. We are signatories on the new Interstate Compact for Military Children. USD 475 was the only school district in Kansas to testify before the state legislature to ensure that Kansas was the first state to completely ratify the compact. Our district is very active at the state and national levels to ensure your children are provided the best possible education.

We are very active members of national organizations such as The National Association of Federally Impacted Schools (NAFIS), Military Impacted Schools Association (MISA) and the Military Child Education Collation MCEC. We work very closely with the National Military Families Association (MFA) to make sure our resources are aligned properly.

As you can see, we consider ourselves to be very military friendly and pledge to support you through service to your children! We consider it an honor and privilege to be partners with Fort Riley. We know we are charged with caring for Fort Riley’s and your most precious people, the children of our hero’s!

So, as you look at our schools, know we have over 30% military spouses working in our schools, about 5% retired military and 65% educators who are trained in transitions and really care about your children!

As superintendent, I extend a warm welcome for you to join our family and realize the benefits of a quality education that provides rigorous challenges in a great environment! Our students love what we do and our staff makes education rewarding.

At USD 475, we really do believe every child can learn and we prove it every day!
