In a recent visit, Mr. Brady told us that there is going to be a big improvement in HR and the hiring process, due to some changes being made in who handles the hiring of new DODEA employees.

Mr Brady said he was going to fix this issue four years ago. He failed. He was unable to fix his own HR department. So instead of continuing to try to fix the unfixable he will outsource the HR role to another government agency.

Usually only if a parent has been military and had an account with them.

Just remember that as long as the system is confusing to the candidate management is free to choose whomever they prefer for whatever reason. The only restraint on this would be a 3rd party accountability review.

In weak moments of arrogant transparency Admin types have been overheard stating boastfully that veteran's preference can be easily circumvented.
I've been added to the email list at my school, so I received an email put out by the principal requesting volunteers from permanent staff to move to a different school due to what appears to be a DODEA reduction in staffing levels for this school year. Anyone else hear about staffing issues? I'm confused as to why they would still be hiring new fo...See More

There's always going to be fluctuations in student levels from school to school and year to year. If they are looking at a few positions at a few schools then it makes sense to ask for volunteers first. If they are looking for people to move schools then it's not a matter of over-strength so much as needing to be redistributed. It's not something I...See More

As long as population grows, staffing will be a community aging issue and a transmigration issue primarily. Over staffing of schools is an impoverished management issue also but only on a grander scale.

I went to every urgent care clinic in Port Saint Lucie, and nobody would do it. Since school in FL has started, but school in WA hasn't, I've sent my son to WA to stay with his dad in hopes I can avoid having to enroll him in school for a week in the states, only to pull him out and enroll him in school at our duty station. I have an appointment se...See More

My husband's the teacher, so he had his done somewhere different than the kids and I. We just went to Kroger (supermarket, chain that includes including Ralphs, Fry's, King Soopers and Food 4 Less) and had it done at the clinic there. We just went in, showed 'em the paperwork, and asked them to write the statement at the top. No problems.

Principals (and school secretaries) seem to have/use discretion with authoring sick/leave days. I would think it would be very rare for DoDEA teachers to use personal days for conferences or workshops, as opposed to personal matters that are not medically related.
Agree that admin days are often granted for activities required for you to ...See More

I emailed the HR Specialist to ask if the two weeks of annual leave I currently have accrued would transfer over or if I need to use it prior to the transfer, but she hasn't gotten back to me.

Did you get an offer? If so, do you mind telling us the process of when you got it and how long you waited, emails, etc?

The contract is forever assuming you make it throught the probationary period.
The RAT is one year, meaning that next summer you will get a trip home for you and your family.
A RAT is not the same as a contract. There really is no contract. That's simply a poor choice of words. There is a negotiated agreement between DoDEA and the...See More

Thanks. It doesn't appeal to me (but then again as a SPED teacher I've had many people/teachers tell me that they would never want to do what I do everyday).
I see it being a hard go in DoDEA. I don't know how it is where you are but my experience has been that in most cases/subject areas they are rarely around and are mostly known via a f...See More

I agree with just about everything posted above. I have a slightly different spin which I don't think contradicts anything posted earlier.
