Military Dependents' Education: Current Program Information and Potential
Savings in DODDS (Testimony, 04/26/94, GAO/T-HEHS-94-155).

This testimony provides information on the current costs and enrollments
for the following four military education programs: Department of
Defense Dependents Schools (DODDS), which educate military dependents
overseas; the Section 6 schools, which the Defense Department (DOD) runs
on some military bases in the United States; the Impact Aid program,
which provides money to local school districts to replace revenues lost
due to federal activities and which is run by the Education Department;
and the DOD program that provides supplemental financial aid to school
districts with large numbers of students who are military dependents.
GAO testified that the military downsizing overseas has reduced DODDS
enrollment considerably, Section 6 schools are relatively unaffected,
and the number of military Impact Aid children has increased slightly.
GAO also discussed savings that could be achieved in DODDS but which
would require changing long-standing policies and practices.
