Which position ia your wife interviewing for?

It was for MS mathematics. We still haven't heard anything in about a month, so we are thinking she didn't get it :(

I have been offered an interview at Ikego Elementary School and am very excited about it but have a few questions. Does anyone have experience there? Also, I was trying to figure out what the pay would be and if they have a cost of living allowance. I have been teaching 22 years in washington state and have a masters plus 45 ...See More

You will be paid on the 2020-2021 pay scale until almost the end of the school year when a comparison is made with school districts the size of DoDEA and pay is then determined. You will be paid retroactively at once for any owed income and then final pay checks will be at the new rate.

I'd like to tag on to this question - can you postpone dependent travel if the family is in the US? I also have HS age children and may be in a similar situation. How does this affect your LQA? Thanks!
haha
Not an expert and/or have not done this personally. But, in general, yes you should be able to postpone dependent travel up to a certain time limit (vague on exactly what that limit is).
LQA is based on the number of dependents residing at post, so it may have some impact in that you sometimes need to add or take off dependents but it is g...See More

Okinawa is in Pacific South District and mainland Japan is in the Pacific East District. Currently, the Pacific East District has posted some internal vacancies for those want to move themselves to another location in the district. Relocation is not funded by DoDEA. On the other hand, if you receive a promotion (USA Jobs) or district/area directed ...See More

There is no way to transfer between districts. Lots of teachers this year went back and picked up stateside Dodea jobs so they can be on US soil for a year and reapply to go overseas. It's a risk, but it's a risk that many are willing to take right now. The only other way to move locations is to get a promotion by going into administration. That's ...See More

@haha do you have to do another probationary period if you were dodea for 4 years, left for 1 year, and are now returning for an overseas position? TiA
HelpOthers
My understanding is that you are only required to do two probationary years for DoDEA regardless of whether it was US or Foreign country. However, if there is a gap in service, this may be different.

My husband is fully retired veteran with 100% pt disability rating. I know that in some usajobs positions this gets preference points. Does it affect my hiring ranking for DODEA jobs? I have two referrals pending and would seriousl...See More

I don't believe that your husband's status would aide your application for DoDEA teaching positions, but could be wrong. When in doubt, ask HR (and then come back and share the response with us).
You used to be able to call HR but I believe the CHRA email is the only way to contact anyone now.

100% disability rating, DOES give you priority. However, you will want to consider your spouse's medical needs. Some locations may not be able to support his needs.
I have never had a NTE (Not To Exceed) one year DoDEA teaching position. Is offering NTE Teaching positions a new trend for DoDEA jobs?

@alifant my NTE had no benefits. Also, if you except an NTE postion, your application in EAS remains active and you are listed as an internal temporary applicant. I still recieved referrals while NTE.
HelpOthers
NTE positions are usually filled by local applicants, because most people don't want to move for only one year and would likely have to pay for their own relocation.
Just finished a ten question interview to an overseas Microsoft TEAMS account -- no video chat. Received the EAS Referral 07/27/2021 and the interview email request 07/30/2021. Interviewed 08/01/2021. Decision to be made 08/06/2021. All questions had to be answered in less than 30 minutes. Only two interviewers and questions were read from a list. ...See More

No LQA or TA?? This has to be Puerto Rico or Guam. No way could an offer be made for DoDEA Europe or Pacific under those conditions unless you are a local hire.
Dr. Ali Fant
Your are correct. My application was declined and another candidate selected 24 hours after the interview. I now suspect this position was designed for a local hire previously selected.

You will likely fly into Yokota Air Base or fly into Tokyo and have to ROM at Yokota, so maybe find the Yokota Pet PCS Facebook Page.
