Staff Only

Harrison Schmitt is proposing an amendment to prevent the transfer of overseas dependent schools from the Department of Defense to the Department of Education. He argues that the schools are closely intertwined with military communities and have special needs that the Department of Education may not be equipped to handle. Other members of Congress also oppose the transfer, citing logistical challenges and potential negative impacts on the schools. They believe that the Department of Defense is better equipped to provide the necessary support for the schools.
