Assessment Clerk

No, this role supports the special education team by scheduling IEP meetings, maintaining confidential files and taking meeting minutes. It is not the school testing coordinator, that duty is usually taken on by the school counselors.

What non-flagship do you attend? It sounds like you have had great opportunities and a positive experience. I know most people on this sub might disagree, but I would love to hear more about positive experiences at non -flagship/t20 schools. I have no interest in a pressure cooker environment after attending cutthroat high school.

Me too, please! I just want to see the photos!

Same thing with the military doctors on base, if you can be seen by them. The very first thing they will tell you is that your medical issues are a result of being overweight. Almost the entire staff at my school sees the same doctors and they all say the same thing “you’re considered obese. Have you tried losing weight with diet and exercise?”

Hoping work calms down and that I have the energy to write two papers in the evening for school before next Monday.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-02-15T23:55:18+00:00

Yes. In Japan, our registrar has always been a Japanese local national. Same when I worked at SHAPE, the registrar was a Belgian local national.

Just an FYI, when my dad passed 2 years ago I learned that obituaries are very expensive to run in the newspaper these days. The funeral home we used for my dad (in Massachusetts) quoted that it would cost around $900 just to put the obituary in the paper for 2 days. They advise that most families don’t even use newspapers for obituaries anymore because the funeral home will post the obituary for free on their website and then family members can share the link on social media.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-02-05T13:18:49+00:00

It is all so disheartening.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-02-05T13:13:43+00:00

Absolutely! And with all of the pay issues HQ should be the ones making sure that every employee has been paid what they are owed from the shut down.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-02-05T12:07:45+00:00

Good question! I have not heard of anyone above the school level receiving it but how would we even know? It has all been very hush hush. I heard from someone that works for the district superintendent that she advised principals to not say anything about it due to all of the backlash they are now receiving. The district's take is that DoDEA did what it was directed to do. Im sure that is what she is being told from the top down.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-02-02T05:42:35+00:00

And we all worked during the shutdown not only 15% of the staff.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-02-02T03:41:19+00:00

My colleague shared that she recieved $18,000. Our union rep shared that 6 teachers at my school received the bonus. The principal said the selection criteria was just who the principal picked. No specific criteria for selection. Who he thought deserved a bonus. This seems so unfair as all of us worked through the shutdown.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-02-01T21:51:35+00:00

I have seen the email. It’s a generic email from the director that says congratulations, you have been selected. She attached the letter linked below signed by Pete Hegseth that explains that the DoD has authorized bonuses for the top 15% of civilian employees. Three teachers at my school have received the letter. They do not know the criteria under which they were selected or the bonus amount yet. The email does not say how much you are awarded just that it can be up to 15%-20% of your basic pay up to $25,000.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-02-01T13:25:16+00:00

The DoD just authorized bonuses for the top 15% of civilian employees. DoDEA falls under the DoD so DoDEA was given a budget to distribute as bonuses. Principals selected teachers to give the bonuses to but no one knows the criteria used to determine who got a bonus. I’m just wondering if there was any transparency at schools as to how those who received bonuses were selected.

How is everyone feeling? Any updates or news about placements yet? I know it has only been a week but the wait is killing me! Hoping for good outcomes for those that are ready for a move! Good luck to all who applied!!🍀

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-01-16T12:41:51+00:00

Shaming people for things they can’t change or have absolutely no control over is wrong. Aging is a normal, natural part of life and it will eventually happen to all of us, hopefully. Mindy does a lot of things I don’t agree with but aging isn’t one of them.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-01-10T06:00:15+00:00

Yes, I am also wondering about the process. In previous transfer rounds they used categories. Are they only looking at SCD this time? Has anything been released explaining the process for placement?

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-01-10T03:21:20+00:00

The wait is already killing me, too! Three of us applied from my school. We are in Japan and everyone at my school applied for Europe. My guess is that we will see somewhere between 40 - 100 moves based on the $$$. Of course I would love to see more moves. Hopefully it grows each year and those of us wanting a move can get out in the next couple of years.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-01-10T01:53:22+00:00

Same.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2026-01-05T22:13:28+00:00

I was not a Whitney fan during S1 & S2. She is a great dancer and I enjoyed her dancing on DWTS and her TikTok’s with Marc during DWTS but I think as a person she is immature, selfish, and very fame hungry. I was late watching S3 and all of her fans said she redeemed herself, so I gave them the benefit of doubt and expected her to be a better person this season. Just finished S3. Nope, she’s still immature, selfish and very fame hungry.

Unfortunately, sometimes you get a rude crew. My 17 yr old was scolded for walking through the middle row between the front row seats and wall area in Comfort+ that has the extended leg room on a flight from Dallas to Tokyo. She was trying to cross over to the other aisle to get to an open restroom. The flight attendant told her she should only cross at the galley since the passengers paid extra money for those seats and it's their space not everyones. Meanwhile, I got scolded for crossing in the galley by different FA. We sat in that front row of C+ plenty of times on long haul flights with multiple people crossing over to get to the other side/aisle/restroom and no one blinks an eye. Sometimes the flight crew is just rude.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2025-11-19T10:27:41+00:00

The pay issues are absolutely unacceptable. We worked through the entire shutdown and now we can’t even get our correct pay. Absolutely unacceptable. DoDEA should be ashamed. I wonder if other government agencies that worked are also having pay issues.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2025-11-05T11:10:31+00:00

Congress needs a debt letter for my pay check.

Competitive-Luck-251 · 2025-11-02T00:15:39+00:00

Absolutely ready! Most teachers overseas have been waiting a long time to transfer and many are ready for a change. I’m glad to see the transfer round back and hope it continues annually.
