ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA — February 18, 2005 — DoDEA announced today a number of leadership moves and organizational changes that will be effective at the beginning of School Year 2005-2006. The moves are routine personnel changes driven by retirements and moves scheduled under the 5-year rule. Tenure for DoDDS Superintendents and Principals is governed by a 5-year internal rotation policy.
In announcing the moves, DoDDS-Europe Director, Ms. Diana Ohman commented, "The leadership changes allow us to bring a fresh perspective and expertise to our schools in various geographic areas. Their backgrounds and experiences will help our educators, parents, and military communities in continuing to provide a quality education to students of military families."
DDESS Director, Dr. Elaine Beraza, urged communities to work closely with new leaders when they arrive next summer. "I invite commanders, parents, employees, and students to welcome each of these leaders and work closely with them as they continue to emphasize a strong focus on teaching, learning, and student achievement" said Dr. Beraza.
