MsU - You say that both of these schools have been severely short staffed for the past 2 years. Is that due to a lack of applicants, unexpected departures, or funding cuts that removed the positions? Other people make it sound like it is hard to get hired on here.
IsItFriday?
Two schools? There are five schools in that complex.
They were never short staffed. They all have a high turnover. The turnover was for all the reasons you listed and more.
Other people are correct. It is difficult to get hired here.

It varies by location, but teachers/dependents can generally use most of the medical services and facilities that are available on base for military and their dependents. Services like dental or optometry might be more limited for civilians but in most locations teachers make use of medical services in the community due to more comprehensive servic...See More

A few days to a couple of weeks is fairly typical. But, never say never. For good or bad, we have seen/heard of people getting the call/email months after giving up hope on a referral turning into an interview.

Wait as long as you want. Everyone is different. Some are more patient.
And some are more gullible.
Has a date ever stood you up? How long did you wait?
We are talking about a deeply, deeply impersonal process, in which the applicants are treated as numbers from the start to the end of the process.

Thanks, I want to clarify I love this job. Just really missing family and find it hard to be away.
IsItFriday?
That's exactly how I interpreted your question.
There are many people in the same boat.
We may love it. But it's a job. We wouldn't do it for free. And it keeps us far from friends and family.

As we said, teaching/grade level assignments are entirely within the discretion of the principal.
Some ask for volunteers. Some try to base decisions on seniority in DoDEA, seniority in the building etc. but many do whatever they want/think best and use whatever rationale they want to offer (if any). Hopefully the decisions are fair and b...See More

There is a system. The principal makes the decision.
Some principals try to sugarcoat it. Some don't
Some try tp cover their actions by sharing some made-up convoluted rationale, and some don't.
Some make decisions that are fair and equitable. Others don't.
This is just one of those times when you need to remem...See More

Yes, the process is well under way. Some excessed teachers in Germany have received placements, and some excessed teachers outside of Germany have received placements in Germany.
And yes, they are hiring. It has started. That has started across the board, although as always, some Principals and Superintendents are slower to hire than other...See More

Thank you for the information & link. But does that mean they are being taxed on the locality adjustment?
IsItFriday?
Yes. Locality pay is taxable. Just do a quick Google if you don't understand what locality pay is.

How common is it to be let go after two years?
Can it happen after year one, even with a good eval/observations? Can it happen after year two with good evaluations?
Moving abroad is a big step and the 2year probationary period could be a stressful time for some new employees.

Agreed.
IsItFriday?
It happens regularly.
But nobody is counting.
It's not in DoDEA's interest to point out their bad hiring decisions, or to track teacher turnover. They get rid of people as quietly as possible, and those people are quickly forgotten.
Some firing decisions are justified. Some leave other teachers puzzled. But the secrecy of...See More
