Treatment of Teachers............
DoDEA Educators,
As 2019 draws to a close, having recently spoken to FEA president Brian Chance and provided an update to OFT president Linda Hogan, I would like to share the status of the Teacher Transfer Program.
As you may know, the Teacher Transfer Program was suspended prior to school year 2019/20. At the same time, I initiated a review of the program. We are now more than halfway through that review.
There were several reasons the Teacher Transfer Program was suspended; chief among those were concerns about the equity, efficiency and effectiveness of the program. I realize the importance of a transfer program to our educators, but I believe that it must achieve three important outcome objectives:
* Increase transfer opportunities for educators who are in less desirable locations (e.g., unaccompanied or "hardship" tours).
* Reduce the human resources manpower required to administer the program...See More

Exactly, he's pretty much buying time, after all while the program is under review can the union even do anything!? This thing could be under review for years. It's just a facade. Shameful.

Super frustrating! Especially since it looks like I may be excessed for the 2nd year in a row. I don't understand why the union isn't suing for a breach of contract, especially for those teachers who were hired in the 90s and 2000s when they were promised a transfer round every year and it was used as a hiring incentive.
haha
It's generally difficult/impossible to sue the federal gov't in most circumstances. The most they can do is file grievances, etc. and unfortunately the governing authorities/mediators are not particularly sympathetic to teachers/labor in general.

I wonder how many teachers will be retiring now with the recent news...
