Savage - Claim.for Education Expenses DIGEST: Employee of Department of Army stationed in .Korea who entered into a private arrangement with a private school for education of his daughter may not be reim- .bursed for the costs he incurred prior to DOD's contractual arrangement with the school. Authority for DOD providing for the schooling of dependents of employees stationed overseas, provisions in annual DOD appropriation acts, expressly provides that appropriations therefor are for expendi- ture in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 7204. That provision contemplates that needed arrangements for schooling are to be made by the Department concerned and that a parent has no authority to obligate the Government by a private agreement. This action is in response to an appeal by Mr. Otis F. Savage, an employee of the Department of the Army, of the disallowance by the Claims Division of his claim for reimbursement for the expenses he incurred for the education of his daughter during the period February 14, 1977, to November 29, 1977. These expenses were incurred while his daughter resided with him at his overseas post of duty in the Republic of Korea (Korea). Upon review, we sustain the disallowance of his claim. The record shows that on February 10, 1977, Mr. Savage's wife and daughter arrived at his over- seas duty station in Korea pursuant to travel orders issued on January 10, 1977. On February 14, 1977, Mr. Savage enrolled his daughter in the second grade at the Korea Christian Academy (Academy) which was apparently the only English speaking school in the area where he was stationed. He incurred total expenses in the amount X12i101
