What We Do

The Education Policy & Operations Division provides support that touches almost every facet of DoDEA from establishing Director-led policies to procuring books for every classroom.

We provide guidance, support, and oversight for student registration/enrollment, the student information system, and student education records. We also provide pre-and post-award procurement support for a host of student and teacher resources, oversee the student activity fund program for participating schools systemwide, and provide editing support for the important work of the Education Directorate.
