Virtual graduation for 2020 seniors

by Bob R/Webmaster

May 5, 2020

What a year it's been! Senior year in high school is a special time for kids, and this year so many of them were deprived of its full depth. This year's graduates will get a special virtual celebration, though, which we can watch on live TV together:

Future Interviews and Advice

Hi Everyone,

I was recently offered a tentative stateside position which is great but I have a few questions and was wondering if anyone could please help.

I was recently offered a tentative stateside position which is great but I have a few questions and was wondering if anyone could please help. I am very honored for the job offer but I did not know that the highest you can be started at is Step 5 (I'm on 14), that insurance would need to be paid by the EE (I currently get free family insurance through my school district), no help with relocation and no help with breaking contract fees. This would be a 10k pay cut (insurance and salary) and moving across the country/break contract fee on top of it so I am apprehensive about the expense and don't want it to count against me if it doesn't work out this time. My first choice is overseas but thought I'd keep my options open and checked stateside jobs as well. This is the first of several stateside offers to interview that I took because it looks like a great school and a nice location (SC). I, honestly, didn't think they would offer it to me and I guess I didn't do my due diligence and find out all of the facts beforehand, so my own stupidity...ugh! I apologize if the below questions have been previously answered...I am new to this chatboard.

1. I asked HR what happens if someone declines a job and they told me their application would be deactivated for the remainder of the school year. Does anyone know how likely it would be to get an interview after this? HR told me that there aren't any red flags put on your app after that year. HR has been very helpful and kind in this process. If there's a high possibility I would get an interview after the deactivation, I would not move my son for a couple of years just to maybe move again and try to get overseas. Or, maybe we'd really like it, I don't know.

2. I think in a previous post, it was asked if stateside jobs can transfer to overseas. Was this yes or no?

3. Does anyone know if the consequence is the same if you accept a tentative and then decline a firm offer or if declining a firm offer would cause a longer deactivation? Should I accept the firm and see if they can give me a better offer or does this not happen? Can you still get interviews if you're going through the hiring process? My application is currently frozen and the DoDEA application site has been down for maintenance.

4. Teachers children can go to school at the base school, correct?

5. Has anyone ever had any luck getting paid at their step instead of step 5?

Any advice anyone could give would be appreciated! I need to let HR know tomorrow and I am torn as far as whether to accept or decline. If I were to decline, it has absolutely nothing to do with the school as it seems wonderful.

Thank you and I hope you're all well! :)

DoDEA Facebook Group for Teachers trying to get hired

by Education1st

Apr 30, 2020

Someone started a Facebook group for teachers trying to get hired with the DoDEA. It's for teachers to share their experience with the process. This will make it easy for everyone to ask and answer questions. Also, we can post pictures and look through other posts much easier. https://www.facebook.com/groups/538804653677909/

I saw that other SLP's out there had applied and asking about the waiting period. Has anyone since been hired?

Also, there is a freeze, do we know why I would of received a referral email if hiring is not occurring at this time?
