The Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC) is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit, world-wide organization. A model of positive leadership and advocacy, the MCEC’s work is focused on ensuring quality educational opportunities for all military-connected children affected by mobility, family separation, and transition. The MCEC performs research, develops resources, conducts professional institutes and conferences, and publishes resources for all constituencies. 

The outstanding partnership shared by the Oceanside Unified School District with Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton has earned OUSD the military’s 2009 Pete Taylor Partnership of Excellence Award.  The OUSD Board of Education and Superintendent Larry Perondi traveled to Philadelphia, PA to receive the award at the annual MCEC national conference.

“The district is thrilled to receive this prestigious honor,” said Superintendent Perondi.  “We are equally happy about continuing the tremendous relationship we share with our military community.”

Established in 2004, the award recognizes outstanding partnerships that exist between military installations and school districts.  The award is designed to “foster the sharing of lessons learned and to recognize that goodness starts at the local level.”

The program ensures every attempt is made to bring together military careers and special needs.
