The School Liaison Office connects different school and community partners to help improve education for American military families in the RAF Lakeneath/RAF Mildenhall/RAF Feltwell area. The SLO can provide information on DoDEA schools located at RAFs Lakenheath and Feltwell, which are used by the RAF Lakenheath, Feltwell and Mildenhall communities (There are no schools at RAF Mildenhall).
