DODD Teachers Chatboard

Jun 25, 2017

I just checked again and the target year is set for SY2018-19. I set the target date to SY2017-18 back in March 2017. Since you cannot change the target date, I sent a note to the EASSystemAdministrator@hq.dodea.edu ;

teacher42 This sounds like what happened to me. I could swear I set mine to the proper school year as well, everything showing green, back in Jan or Feb (or whenever we get that notice). But I wasn't getting any notices, so I checked, and sure enough it showed me as applying for the SY2018-19. I didn't bother to follow up on it mainly because I'm fully emplo...See More

Referral Notifications SY17-18

by Dr. Ali Fant

Jun 25, 2017

I have not seen ANY of the automatic referral notifications like I have in the previous 7 years. I even re-checked my EAS application and everything shows green. Have there been any automatic referral notifications going out?

HelpOthers Check the school-year next to your transcript and educational certificate in the forms section. These two documents need to be re-uploaded each year. I went a few years with all green check mark, not realizing I needed to upload them again even if no changes had been made.

Bob, thanks for maintaining this board for us and for fixing the glitches. It really is a blessing. I haven't found anywhere else where people share info about getting jobs with Dodea. Thanks again!

TeachEsp Agreed. I'm new here as far as posting, but I have been following the discussion for quite some time. Reading about others' experiences and concerns is both informative and reassuring.

Thank you for this labor of love.

Timing of firm offer to leave date

by superstock98

Jun 24, 2017

I was just wondering those of you that have received a firm offer and orders, what has been the approximate time from receiving your firm offer and the date you are packed out and you are set to leave.

view previous comments

I ❤ sped Teach - 5 days from firm offer to orders! I got the firm offer on June 13 & received orders on June 15. I scheduled pack out & travel this last week. They are scheduling pack outs for mid July at the base closest to me. They told me Express Shipment (Unaccompanied Baggage takes 35-42 days to receive & HHG takes 65-72 days.

My father remarried after my mother passed and I have 4 step-siblings I barely know and only met once at the wedding. I live far from them. Do I need to list them and provide information on them?

First Interview!

by Shenna

Jun 23, 2017

Hello All!

Well I had my first interview yesterday and I am super excited and nervous. I feel like I did well, but don't want to get my hopes up. If you all could say a little prayer for me, I would appreciate it.

I also have a question. I am currently a government employee for a different agency. Does anyone know if I would need...See More

HelpOthers Congratulations! I will be praying for you. As for the background check. If you went through EQuip within the past 5 years, supposedly you are not required to do it again. However, some people already in DoDEA who are going between DDESS and DoDDS are being required to go through the process even when their last Equip background check was within th...See More

Disqualifying events on Background Check

by superstock98

Jun 23, 2017

Does anyone know what type of results would have the offer recinded other than the obvious law breakage? My biggest concern is I have crappy credit because I havent had enough income to make ends meet with my current positions salary. That and I was self employed previously and really have no way they can verify it other than tax returns.
