Thanks. I took your advice and checked with them about secondary social studies and English. Turns out I'm already qualified for social studies, and I only need 3 credits for English; I just signed up for an English class a few mins ago. My question is this: since I'll probably finish the English class within 3 weeks, if DODEA sends out their annua...See More

No problem. Generally, the best idea is to apply and get your EAS processed as soon as possible. You can always go back and add a target date and/or ask for your EAS to be reevaluated.

I am in the UK, I should probably change my alias to something more discrete but I tend to never say things that are very provocative anyways.
I had my interview in April, job offer two weeks later, passports in July (worst part) and arrived here August 10. It was so complicated and parts of it were truly anxiety producing (background che...See More

Well. I also interviewed for a position in the UK. I'm at the background process and have already mailed my passport info to the passport division. Juat a little ahead of the ball game. I too have pets and will be getting them checked in a few weeks at the base vet nearest me. I'm quite excited, but don't want to get caught up and run out of time. ...See More

Yes, you have the job.
But no, do not make any major financial commitment. Don't sign any contract, make any deposit, or do anything else that has serious consequences for your financial health should the firm offer not materialize. I think this was explained in your tentative offer.
Wait for the orders.

Thank you both for your responses. Just so you know, no skeletons or shady spy/underworld activity to found in my background check. Lol I just want to be prepared once I get my firm offer, fingers crossed. I have passport paperwork already turned into HR person and pet vet appointment with the military vet nearest to me. Thank you again!

Thank you! Actually thinking about lwop as a way of getting out of our current location. In that case I can't be in pay status, not even a day, I assume. Do I have to fully resign? If I resign I have no rights to return to my current position if nothing else pans out, correct? Is there any poc for these rather specific questions? Thanks again!

A union rep in my area said LWOP hasn't be granted for a CONUS teacher in well over a year- not sure if it's true or not. Also if you take LWOP, you are supposed to be placed back in a position in your current location, unless you are following your spouse who is PCSing to a new location.

Thanks. Looks pretty similar to previous policies (based only on a casual look at the previous policy a while back). Basically boils down to, you can ask and they might say yes. I did notice that there are extra hoops to jump through/conditions that must be met by "educators only" (e.g. local hire back fill must be available, etc.).

It's legal mumbo-jumbo.
It's not meant to help classroom teachers.
This policy is a legal requirement, that exists only to cover HR butts. In the event of a lawsuit, HR can honestly go into court, show the policy to the judge, and explain that they have fulfilled all the requirements of both the law, and federal regulations.

Did you get an offer?
What exactly is the question?
Are you wondering if people accept offers at age 59? The simple answer is yes.
There are many old (really old) teachers in DoDEA.

I know a handful of teachers who didn't start working for Dodea until close to retirement age. I agree with the above post regarding making the best decision based on your end of career plans. Good luck! There is also a Facebook page with tons of helpful info - Dodea teachers interested.

I've seen the LQA rates, but does Oki require key money?

More likely for 1st, last AND security. You should qualify for a salary advance if you need it which would more than cover it. New employees can't apply until they get to the new post but you may be able to apply before you leave.

You pay the first month's rent up front, the agent fee which is about the cost of one month's rent, and you pay a one-month deposit that will be refunded when you move away if the house is not damaged. LQA will reimburse for the agent fee and the rent, but you need the money up front. This is where the free three-month salary is helpful. However, b...See More
