FOREWORD

The Department of Defense Education Activity
(DoDEA) is committed to providing the best
educational opportunities possible to children
of active duty service personnel at its schools
throughout the world. We achieve this by
focusing our energy and efforts on the continual
improvement of our instructional programs.
I commend DoDEA's talented educators and
students for their noteworthy accomplishments
during the past school year.

A Community of Learners is DoDEA's annual
accountability report to the communities it serves.
It is designed to give our publics a profile of our
schools and student achievement for 1998-99,
and includes the most critical data about DoDEA
schools, staff, and students. I invite everyone
to read this review of school year 1998-99, since
schools only perform optimally when they keep
all members of their communities fully informed
and involved.
