Cultural Family Liaisons

Shakopee's Cultural Family Liaisons (CFL) serve as a bridge between school, cultural and ethnically diverse students and families to increase awareness and participation for academic and social growth, while keeping their own sense of cultural identity. CFLs increased awareness, understanding and education for staff on how to work with the unique needs of our diverse student and parent/guardian population. They also provide technical assistance on how to improve communication in other languages to serve our diverse District 720 community. CFLs work in elementary, middle and high school buildings, and each liaison has a schedule that identifies schools and the days they are in the buildings.
