[quote=Anonymous]FROM VASO:

VASO requires that a teacher or school staff member employed at the school be a VASO point of contact for the school's Science Olympiad program. If the team coach is a school employee, then the requirement for a school liaison is met. Flexibility is required for teams of home schooled students, however a single primary point of contact is still required.

School liaisons vary in their participation with teams - some choose to be very hands-on with the team, for example, but that isn't required. The school liaison must receive the VASO emails, keep in touch with the coach about what is happening on the team, be a link between the school administration and the coach, and step in if there are any problems with the team. School liaisons are also great for collecting forms, handling money, ordering or supplying materials, providing a meeting place, and being an unbiased voice for difficult decisions like team selection. School liaisons are not required to go to tournaments or be part of mentoring events.

There may still be instances in which parents or outside volunteers do much of the coaching of the team or teams. Additional team coaches may ask to be included in the email distributions from VASO to the school-based sponsor or coach, however a team coached by someone other than a school employee may not register without a school liaison.
