DoDEA Director Reassigned
June 24, 2010The Federal Education Association (FEA) has just learned that the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) Director, Dr. Shirley Miles, has been reassigned by the Pentagon. The FEA supports the Pentagon's decision to exercise vigorous oversight of DoDEA.
FEA looks forward to working closely and in full cooperation with the new DoDEA leader, Ms. Marilee Fitzgerald, just as we have with previous DoDEA leaders. FEA intends to work in tandem with Ms. Fitzgerald to restore highly successful remedial programs such as Reading Recovery, along with educational literacy and math services for academically at-risk children. FEA will also work with Ms. Fitzgerald to restore meaningful professional development for DoDEA educators, as well to prevent further cuts that were contemplated by Dr. Miles in DoDEA services and educational programs, such as her proposal to eliminate teaching positions at small DoDEA high schools this coming school year.
FEA will work jointly with Ms. Fitzgerald to provide the dependents of our military members with the high level education to which they richly deserve, and together we will work to ensure that DoDEA continues to be recognized as one of America's finest school systems.
