What We Do

The Education Operations Branch (EOB) provides guidance, support, and oversight for student registration/enrollment, student discipline, student rights and responsibilities, school calendars, school visitors /volunteers, student handbook, and advisory committees. We also provide support to the student activity fund program and the expanded eligibility enrollment option (E30) for participating schools.

Policy Development	Supports schoolwide policies from inception to implementation and monitoring. To access the current Education Operation Branch policies, please visit the Office of Department of War Education Activity Policy - Search Policies page.
School Handbook	The School Handbook serves as a guide for outlining school policies and procedures for students and parents. It establishes consistent safety protocols, academic requirements, and clarifies rights and responsibilities to create a structured educational environment.
Expanded Eligibility Enrollment Option (E30)	The Expanded Eligibility Enrollment Option, authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2025 allows children of full-time, active-duty military who reside off the military installation to attend a DoWEA brick-and-mortar school, provided space is available. You can find information about the four pilot sites at the following links: Fort Jackson Maxwell Air Force Base Naval Surface Weapons Center Dahlgren Division Camp Lejeune
Parent Pathways & Resources	Parent Pathways & Resources reflect DoWEA’s commitment to transparency and accountability for sponsors, parents, and legal guardians. This site provides clear access to information, communication, and resources to support DoWEA’s partnership with families and its responsibility to uphold consistent, high‑quality educational practices across all schools.
