Take Action
Stop layoffs at DoDEA schools
The Federal Education Association, an NEA affiliate, represents 6,000 educators in 161 schools stateside and overseas for military-connected students—the children of active duty and civilian Department of Defense employees. The schools are administered by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA).
As part of his “Workforce Acceleration & Recapitalization Initiative,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has proposed eliminating hundreds of positions in DoDEA schools for educators with specialized skills: educational technologists, speech-language assessors, special education assessors, and automation clerks.
The plan shortchanges military-connected students and stretches educators to the breaking point. Tell your members of Congress to take action and stop it!
