Report To The Secretary Of Defense


Management Control Of The Department Of

Defense Overseas Dependents Schools

Needs To Be Strengthened


In 1975 the Congress directed that the
responsibility for operating the Department
of Defense overseas dependents schools be
transferred from the military departments
to the Office of the Secretary of Defense
because of concern over the lack of control
over how financial and personnel resources
allocated to the education program were
handled. A primary objective of the transfer
was to establish centralized management
control of the system, which was then oper-
ating as three separate entities under a
geographical manager concept.


Despite the transfer, many of the problems
associated with the lack of central direction
and control remain. As a result, the school
system's managers are unable to ensure
that resources are obtained and used effi-
ciently and effectively.

GAO recommends that management con-
trol of the program be strengthened by sim-
plifying and standardizing aspects of finan-
cial and logistics management.
