For school year 1994-95, the Department of Defense Dependents Schools

(DODDS) system enrolled 88,569 students in 191 schools worldwide and had

a budget of approximately $860 million. Most students were Department of

Defense (DOD) command-sponsored, military or civilian dependents for

whom DODDS is required by law to provide a free public education in

overseas areas, and most were enrolled as space-required students. About

6 percent, or 5,489 students, were enrolled as space-available

students—that is, dependents who were not command sponsored and thus

not eligible for space-required enrollment, but were allowed to enroll if

space was available. About 3,000 of these space-available students paid

tuition, while the other 2,500 attended tuition free.

As part of our continuing review of DODDS, as directed by the Conference

Report accompanying the 1994 Defense Authorization Act, we were asked

to provide information on educating DOD dependents overseas.1

 More

specifically, we focused our efforts on (1) reviewing legislation that

establishes eligibility and authorizes funding for students to enroll in

DODDS as space-available, (2) identifying the number of students enrolled

as space-available and their locations, and (3) explaining the

circumstances surrounding high space-available enrollments in some

schools. To do this work, we reviewed the law and DOD regulations

pertaining to eligibility criteria and funding for enrolling students in DODDS

on a space-available basis and analyzed statistical data on DODDS’ total

student enrollments for school year 1994-95. We also interviewed officials

at DODDS headquarters, two regional offices, and nine district offices, and

1

House Report 103-357, November 10, 1993.

visited selected schools to clarify policies and procedures for enrolling

students on a space-available basis in those schools.2

 As agreed, we will

provide you with information on the special education program in DODDS at

a later date.

Results in Brief The Secretary of Defense is authorized by the Defense Dependents’

Education Act of 1978 to establish eligibility for space-available enrollment

for students and has placed space-available children into two broad

categories: tuition-paying and tuition-free. Tuition-paying students can be

either (1) federally connected, such as dependents of the State

Department or other U.S. government agency sponsors3

 or

(2) nonfederally connected, including dependents of retired military and

foreign national sponsors. The majority of tuition-free, space-available

students are the dependents of DOD military or civilian sponsors who are

not authorized government transportation and housing overseas for their

dependents.

A Conference Committee report instructed DOD not to include the cost of

educating tuition-free, space-available students in its budget request, and

to include only the cost of educating space-required and tuition-paying,

space-available students.4

DODDS has not followed these instructions, even though doing so would not

pose a serious burden on most schools, whose space-available, tuition-free

enrollments are very low. Currently, the number of tuition-free,

space-available students in DODDS is only about 3 percent of its student

population. For a few schools in Korea, however, where many children fall

into this category, DOD would have to act to ensure that following the

report’s instructions will not leave these children without access to an

education.

For school year 1994-95, space-available enrollments totaled 5,489

students, or 6.2 percent of total enrollment in DODDS. Of these, 1,359 were

tuition-paying, federally connected dependents; 1,652 were tuition-paying,

2

We excluded the Panama Region from our analysis of space-available enrollments because under the

terms of the Panama Canal Treaty, the schools in Panama will be turned over to the Panama

government for operation in 1999, and the only other school in that region is scheduled to close in

1995.

The word “sponsor” refers to the parent or other legal guardian of the student.

See House Report 99-235, July 29, 1985, p. 473, “The Department of Defense may not take the cost of

educating these children [tuition-free, space-available students] into account in requesting funds for

additional facilities, teachers, supplies and other resources.”

Page 2 GAO/HEHS-95-149 Overseas Schools
B-257802 

nonfederally connected students, and the remaining 2,478 were tuition

free. Almost all DODDS schools have some space-available students

enrolled, often the result of a dependent spouse and children choosing to

accompany a military spouse who is on an authorized “unaccompanied

tour of duty.”5

While most schools—75 percent—had space-available enrollments of

5 percent or less, four schools—one in Ankara, Turkey; two in Bonn,

Germany; and one in Bahrain—had enrollments of 65 percent or more.

According to agency officials, DODDS is operating these schools—despite

the lack of space-required students—in concurrence with DOD and in some

cases the State Department, as a matter of policy related to the military

mission in these locations. Most of these students are tuition-paying.

Background DODDS was created pursuant to section 1402 of Public Law 95-561, the

Defense Dependents’ Education Act of 1978, which directed the Secretary

of Defense to establish and operate a program to provide a free public

education through secondary school for dependents in overseas areas (20

U.S.C. 921). DODDS is a support organization within DOD whose mission is to

educate every child authorized transportation overseas by DOD regardless

of location or needs of the child. Due to the downsizing of the military

overseas, DODDS enrollments have decreased from 160,000 for school year

1990-91 to 88,569 for school year 1994-95, and the number of DODDS schools

decreased from 270 to 191. DODDS elementary and secondary schools are

located in 14 countries worldwide and are administered by three regions

and 12 district offices.

The DODDS schools we visited were, indeed, American schools overseas.

The facilities, resources, teachers, and curriculum were what one would

find in a typical American school in the states. In addition, because the

schools were located on military bases, they were very much a part of the

community in which they were located. Students who were overseas on

unaccompanied tours could not live in base housing and therefore the

school was a link to the base—and American—community.

5

An unaccompanied tour is a short overseas tour of 12 to 24 months where DOD does not pay

transportation and housing costs for dependents to accompany the military person on tour. If the

person on tour pays the transportation and housing for dependents, the children may attend DODDS

schools tuition-free, if space is available. The accompanied tour is longer, usually 24 to 36 months, and

transportation and housing costs are paid for dependents to accompany the person on tour, and

children are enrolled in DODDS schools on a space-required basis.

Eligibility and

Funding for

Space-Available

Students

The Secretary of Defense has authority, granted by Public Law 95-561, to

allow classes or categories of students, other than space-required

students, to enroll in DODDS. The Secretary may also establish priorities

among such classes, waive the tuition, and issue other regulations as

deemed necessary. No limit has been established for the number of

space-available children who can be enrolled in DODDS, and no regulatory

criteria have been established on how space-available is to be determined.

However, the July 29, 1985, Conference Report instructed DOD not to

include the cost of educating tuition-free, space-available students in its

budget requests.

Eligibility Categories and

Priorities Have Been

Defined

Section 1402 of Public Law 95-561, which created DODDS, defines a

dependent as any minor who has not completed secondary school; who is

the child, stepchild, adopted child, ward, or spouse of a sponsor, or who is

a resident in the household of a sponsor who legally stands in place of

parents to the minor; and who receives one-half or more of his or her

support from this sponsor. DOD regulations define “space-available” as

student accommodations that may be made available in DODDS schools if

the Director of DODDS or a designee determines that a school has adequate

staff and other resources to permit the enrollment of nonspace-required

students.

DOD regulations establish categories of space-available students. All

space-available children fall into the two broad categories of tuition-paying

or tuition-free. Tuition-paying students can be either federally connected,

such as dependents of State Department or other U.S. government agency

sponsors, or nonfederally connected, including dependents of retired

military or foreign national sponsors. Ninety-six percent of tuition-free,

space-available students are the dependents of DOD military or civilian

sponsors who are not authorized government transportation and housing

overseas for their dependents. The remaining 4 percent fall into the

category of special cases and include students whose sponsors died while

on active duty. The designation “tuition-free” for the class of students with

sponsors on unaccompanied tours was made by the Director of DODDS in

1982. DODDS classified and prioritized space-available students within the

categories specified in the regulations as shown:

• Tuition-paying, federally connected: Sponsors employed by U.S.

government agencies, interests, and foreign services.

• Tuition-paying, nonfederally connected: Sponsors are U.S. citizens, foreign

nationals, or retired military.

Page 4 GAO/HEHS-95-149 Overseas Schools
B-257802 

• Tuition-free: Sponsors are DOD military or civilians overseas, but their

dependents are not authorized overseas.

For a more detailed explanation of these classifications, see appendix I.

Admissions Policies and

Practices

Neither the statute nor regulations address the issue of how available

space is to be determined in schools. Our interviews showed that, in

practice, the school principal usually determines whether space is

available, using pupil-teacher ratios by grade level as criteria. With the

exception of those in Korea, the schools we visited were generally able to

meet the demand for space-available enrollments. Military drawdowns in

Europe have enabled the schools to easily accommodate those few

students who applied for admission. DODDS schools in Japan and Okinawa

were often already overcrowded with space-required students, but the

demand for space-available enrollment was also low. We were told the

high cost of living in these areas often prohibits service personnel from

bringing their families unless they have approved housing. In addition, the

military services’ policies are to send members to these locations on

accompanied tours, which classifies their children as space-required in the

schools. Also, other private schools are available in these areas.

In Korea, however, the situation is different. The military commanders

there told us that because many tours require the service members to be

stationed in dangerous locations without accommodations for dependents,

about 90 percent of the U.S. military personnel in Korea are on

unaccompanied tours. Nevertheless, because the cost of living is very low,

it is feasible for a service member to support dependents on the local

economy. This occurs more commonly in those families where the spouse

is a Korean national. In addition, private schools in Korea are expensive,

and Korean law prohibits American dependents from attending Korean

public schools. As a result, many of these children, for whom there is no

available space in DODDS schools, do not attend any school.

In Korea, three of the six DODDS schools have space-available, tuition-free

enrollments ranging from 180 to 220 students—14 to 34 percent of total

school enrollments. DODDS officials told us they enrolled as many students

as possible in Korea because these children are without practical

alternatives. Currently, there is no count of children on unaccompanied

tours, but base officials estimate there are hundreds and possibly

thousands. Because of the large number of children in Korea on

unaccompanied tours who are not attending any school at all, military

Page 5 GAO/HEHS-95-149 Overseas Schools
B-257802 

commanders told us that dealing with serious behavior problems such as

vandalism, theft, and drug abuse takes up an increasing amount of the post

commanders’ time. Although the commander must take over these

discipline problems from the Korean police, the commander has no direct

authority over the civilian dependents—post commander authority lies

only over the military sponsor. In addition to the problems that occur in

Korea, the commanders feel a social responsibility because children sent

back to the United States who have missed several years of school will

likely have problems in the future. For example, the command found one

14-year-old dependent who had not attended school for 7 years. The

sponsor was subsequently ordered to return to the United States.

Accounting for

Space-Available Students

in the Budgeting Process

The July 1985 Conference Report instructed DOD to treat differently the

two classes of space-available students in its budgeting process. This

report states that DOD is allowed to take into account the cost of additional

teachers, supplies, and other resources, except for construction of

facilities, for tuition-paying students in its request for funds. DOD may not,

however, take into account the extra costs for educating the tuition-free,

space-available children. Since there is no limit to the number of

space-available children who may be enrolled in the schools, this

budgeting process would allow for as many space-available, tuition-paying

children as would apply, without authorizing new facilities, but would

limit the number of tuition-free students to a true space-available criterion.

In fact, however, DOD does take into account the extra costs for educating

space-available, tuition-free students in requesting funds, because it

estimates its costs on the basis of the total student population of the

previous year, including the space-available, tuition-free students.

Requiring these students to pay tuition would produce a savings of

between $21 million and $23 million. However, some solution to the

difficult situation in Korea would have to be achieved in conjunction with

enforcing such a requirement. Otherwise, realizing these savings would

most likely keep even more children from attending school.

Enrollments by

Category

According to the DODDS Student Information Management System (SIMS),

for school year 1994-95 DODDS enrolled 88,569 students in 191 schools in 14

countries worldwide. About 6 percent, or 5,478, of these students were

enrolled as space-available. Figure 1 shows the percentage of

space-available students by category within DODDS’ total enrollment.

Note: Numbers in parentheses are percentages of total enrollment for each region.

The distribution of space-available enrollments was generally consistent

between the European and Pacific regions—about 5 percent overall and

ranging from about 1 to 3 percent for each of the categories of students.

The Panama Region, however, has 22.3 percent space-available enrollment

primarily due to a higher number of tuition-free dependents of DOD

civilians. However, as stated earlier, in 1999, the schools in Panama will be

turned over to Panama for operation, according to the terms of the

Panama Treaty. Because these schools are operated in accordance with

the terms of the Treaty and because of their temporary status in DODDS, we

did no further analysis of their enrollments.

A detailed analysis of space-available enrollments at individual schools,

districts, and regions is in appendix II.

Circumstances

Contributing to High

Space-Available

Enrollments

Most DODDS schools—about 75 percent—have space-available enrollments

of 5 percent or less. However, for varying reasons relating to military

policy or interests, a few schools have space-available enrollments of

16 percent or more. Four of these schools have space-available

enrollments of 65 percent or more.

Reasons for Large

Space-Available

Enrollments

Four schools—one in Bahrain; two in Bonn, Germany; and one in Ankara,

Turkey—have space-available enrollments of 65 percent or more. Each of

Page 8 GAO/HEHS-95-149 Overseas Schools
B-257802 

these schools maintains these enrollments for specific reasons dictated by

military policy. DODDS provided the following explanations.

Bahrain: The Bahrain school was established by DOD in the late 1970s. It

has 958 students, of which 726 are space-available (75.8 percent). Bahrain

was and still is a strategic area for U.S. military in the Persian Gulf region.

In exchange for the rights for the U.S. Navy to port its ships in Bahrain, the

Bahrain government asked DOD to establish and operate an American

school for dependents of Bahrain government officials. The establishment

of the school was cleared through both the State Department and DOD.

Bonn: The Bonn elementary school has a total enrollment of 163 students,

of which 82.2 percent (134 students) are space-available, and the high

school has 259 students, of which 78.8 percent (204 students) are

space-available. These schools were established before DODDS was created,

when the DOD schools were still the responsibility of the individual military

services. The State Department asked DOD to establish the schools for the

large numbers of State Department dependents located in Bonn, formerly

the capital of West Germany, when Germany was a divided nation. The

schools have remained open, despite the military drawdown in the area, to

continue educating State Department and other U.S. government agencies’

dependents remaining in Bonn since Germany’s reunification.

Ankara: Because the military is gradually moving out of the area, the ratio

between space-required and space-available students has changed greatly

in Ankara in the past few years. As of September 1994, the enrollment was

190 students, of which 65 percent (124 students) were space-available.

Currently, the State Department relies on the DODDS school because there

are no alternative English-speaking schools available.

In addition to these four schools, seven schools—three in the European

Region and four in the Pacific Region—have space-available enrollments

of 18 to 36 percent. Nearly two-thirds of these students are tuition-paying,

which allows DODDS to include them in the budget process, thus allowing

them space. Almost all of the remaining tuition-free students are in schools

in Korea, where, as we discussed, DODDS attempts to enroll as many

students as possible.

Conclusion Space-available enrollments in DODDS schools are generally very low and

do not present a problem for the school systems. However, in Korea a

problem exists at several levels—at the program, military command, and

Page 9 GAO/HEHS-95-149 Overseas Schools
B-257802 

social levels. In trying to attend to the education of dependents on

unaccompanied tours, DODDS has enrolled a relatively large number of

these children.

First, at the program level, DODDS has not followed the stipulations of

Conference Report 99-235, which prohibit DOD from requesting funds for

teachers and resources to educate space-available, tuition-free students.

However, the situation is not straightforward. If DODDS does not include

these students in its budget, more students will probably do without an

education in Korea because DODDS will receive less funding.

Second, at the local military command level, the many children who do not

attend school may require increased time and resources to address

growing behavior problems. The command does not have the authority to

keep noncommand-sponsored dependents out of Korea because it only

has authority over the actions of the sponsor, not the civilian dependents.

Finally, on a social level, leaving children uneducated raises a social and

ethical dilemma for DODDS and the military. Sending children back to the

United States after they have missed years of schooling places them at an

educational disadvantage when they do return to school.

Alternative solutions exist, however, such as (1) allowing DODDS to request

resources in special situations, such as that in Korea, for space-available,

tuition-free students, or (2) having the military take strong measures to

discourage noncommand-sponsored dependents in areas such as Korea.

Each alternative has costs—financial, military readiness, or

legislative—that need to be fully identified before the Congress and DOD

can make an informed decision.

Recommendation We recommend that the Secretary of Defense propose to the Congress

alternatives, and their costs, to bring DODDS into compliance with

budgetary guidelines that prohibit DOD from requesting funds for

space-available, tuition-free students and that consider the compliance,

disciplinary, and social problems that currently exist.

Agency Comments The Department of Defense stated that, contrary to our position, it views

itself as being in compliance with congressional budget guidance. DOD

stated that it has never requested an appropriation based upon any

enrollment data but instead bases its request on factors such as

workyears, needed for teachers and other positions; and the number of

Page 10 GAO/HEHS-95-149 Overseas Schools
B-257802 

schools. We recognize that the DOD budget request is based on these

factors. However, at least one of the factors used, workyears, is based on

total enrollment. More specifically, DODDS includes space-available,

tuition-free students in the total enrollment information it provides DOD for

budget purposes. For this reason, we continue to believe our

recommendation is valid. The full text of DOD’s comments is included in

appendix III.

We will send copies of this report to agency officials and to other

interested parties. We will also make copies available to others on request.

Major contributors to this report are listed in appendix IV. If you have any

Enrollment Categories for Students in

DODDS Overseas Schools

The enrollment categories for students in DODDS overseas schools are

listed here along with a description of the types of students included in

each category.

Space-Required,

Tuition-Free

• Minor dependents of U.S. military personnel (Army, Navy, Marines, and

Air Force), when those dependents are authorized transportation at U.S.

government expense. (1A-D)

• Although the Coast Guard is not part of DOD, Coast Guard dependents

attend DODDS on a space-required, tuition-free basis by special

arrangement. (1E)

• Minor dependents of DOD civilian employees who are full time; are paid

from appropriated funds; are entitled to a housing allowance at the “with

dependents” rate, that is, whose dependents have been transported to the

overseas areas or are authorized such transportation, at U.S. government

expense; and are U.S. citizens or are lawfully accorded permanent

residence in the United States. (1F)

• Minor dependents of Nonappropriated Funds Institutions employees, such

as post exchange employees on base, who are full time, are U.S. citizens or

valid green card holders, are overseas pursuant to a transportation

agreement, and are receiving a housing allowance at the “with

dependents” rate. (1J)

Space-Required,

Tuition-Paying

• Minor dependents of DOD sponsors who are assigned to the Military

Assistance or Foreign Military Sales Programs. The agency pays this

tuition in order to collect the full cost of the program. (1G&H)

• Minor dependents of foreign national citizens who are enrolled in schools

operated by the former Canal Zone Government. These students are

space-required because their schools were incorporated into DODDS as a

result of the Panama Canal Treaty of 1979. The Panama Canal Commission

pays the tuition. (1I)

Space-Available,

Tuition-Paying,

Federally Connected

• Minor dependents of U.S. government employees, provided the employee

is a U.S. citizen or a person lawfully accorded permanent residence in the

United States and is entitled to a housing allowance at the “with

dependents” rate, or who has been identified by his or her agency as being

eligible for educational benefits on a tuition-paying basis. Includes U.S.

government employees who are covered by an Economy Act Agreement

between the Department of State and DOD, or any component of such an

agency and DOD. Examples: Dependents of U.S. citizen employees of all

Page 14 GAO/HEHS-95-149 Overseas Schools

Enrollment Categories for Students in

DODDS Overseas Schools

U.S. government agencies other than DOD, such as the State Department,

Agency for International Development, Department of Agriculture, Federal

Aviation Administration, Customs Service, General Services

Administration, and the Smithsonian Institution. This also includes U.S.

citizen employees of certain international organizations, such as the North

Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United Nations. (2A)

• Minor dependents of DOD Nonappropriated Funds Institutions employees

who are U.S. citizens (or persons lawfully accorded permanent residence

in the United States), are full-time employees, are not overseas pursuant to

a transportation agreement, but are receiving a housing allowance at the

“with dependents” rate. (2B)

• Minor dependents of U.S. citizens who are employees of organizations

overseas that serve significant defense-related interests and/or that have

executed contracts or other agreements with the U.S. government that

authorize dependent education in DODDS on a tuition-paying basis. For

example: employees of permanent party American Red Cross, United

Service Organizations, Boy and Girl Scouts, post exchange concessionaire

contractors, and Stars and Stripes. Also, university education personnel,

U.S. government contractor personnel, and technical representatives,

when the contract authorizes dependent education in DODDS on a

tuition-paying basis. (2C)

• Dependents of host nation or third-country national military or civilian

personnel assigned or attached to the U.S. military services overseas at

international or major DOD commands, when recommended by the major

overseas commander. For example: third-country national military and

civilian personnel service with U.S. armed forces overseas, North Atlantic

Treaty Organization, United Nations, Canadian, or other allied forces. (2D)

Space-Available,

Tuition-Free

• Minor dependents of DOD military sponsors (Army, Navy, Marines, Air

Force, and Coast Guard) who are stationed in an overseas area to which

their dependents are not authorized transportation at U.S. government

expense, but to which the sponsors have elected to transport their

dependents at their own expense. (3A-E)

• Minor dependents of DOD civilian sponsors who are U.S. citizens (or

persons lawfully accorded permanent residence in the United States) who

are full time, are paid from appropriated funds, but who are not entitled to

a housing allowance at the “with dependents” rate. (3F)

• Minor dependents of sponsors who have been granted a waiver of tuition

costs by the Secretary of Defense (or designee). Includes dependents of

military or DOD civilian sponsors who die while, or within 180 days of

being, on active duty or while drawing compensation. Also includes U.S.

citizens or green card holders who are employees of the U.S. Mission or

U.S. Embassy in Berlin. (3G)

Space-Available,

Tuition-Paying,

Nonfederally

Connected

• Other minor dependents of U.S. citizens. Examples are persons who would

be space-available, tuition-paying, and federally connected but lack

entitlement to a housing allowance at the “with dependents” rate or a

contract providing for education benefits. (4A)

• Minor dependents of foreign national citizens for whom the Secretary of

Defense determines that enrollment is in the national interest. Includes all

foreign national dependents attending Ankara, Bahrain, and Bonn schools

unless excluded by the Department of State. (4B)

• All U.S. citizens not included in other categories, for example, U.S. retired

military personnel. (4C)

• Dependents of local or third-country nationals when no significant U.S.

interest is involved. (4D)
