Summary:
The Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA)
manages one of two federal school systems that provides
pre-kindergarten through grade 12 education, primarily for
the children of military servicemembers domestically and
overseas. DODEA employs approximately 15,000 and
operates 114 schools in foreign countries and 57 schools
domestically. DODEA also has arrangements with local
education authorities (LEAs) that operate schools on
military installations. As of November 2015, the domestic
school system enrolled 22,699 students in seven states,
Puerto Rico, and Cuba. This report focuses only on
DODEA’s domestic school system.
