Cultural Liaisons
Connecting Families and Schools Across Languages and Cultures
At Edina Public Schools, cultural liaisons partner with students and families from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. They help ensure every family feels informed, supported, and connected by strengthening communication, building cultural understanding, and guiding families within the school experience. Through this work, they expand access to learning opportunities and support positive outcomes for all students.
