About

DoDEA Education Partnership and Resources Division

The Partnership and Resources Division (PART) supports the DoDEA vision to be among the world's leaders in education, enriching the lives of military-connected students and the communities in which they live. To achieve this mission, our work extends to military-connected students in states and countries that are not directly served by a DoDEA school. To reach the full intent of this mission we partner with internal DoD stakeholders and external military-connected associations and education organizations and agencies. Goals of PART include to provide resources, technical assistance, and support that facilitates the continuity of education and learning experiences for military-connected transitioning students PreK-grade 12 through the operation of the DoDEA Grant Program.

About the DoDEA Grant Program

The quality of K-12 education is an important criterion for retention of the military family. The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is charged with the critical responsibility and privilege of educating the children of our nation's military. Recognizing that over 1.1M military-connected students attend public schools, leveraging partnerships with school districts is paramount in influencing successful educational outcomes for military-connected students. Consequently, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 provided DoDEA the authority to share resources with public schools that educate military-connected students. Since 2009, DoDEA has awarded 709 grants to nearly 130 school districts in 39 states, plus Washington, D.C, totaling more than $830 million. These grants have impacted more than three million students, including over one million military-connected students, across the United States.
