d. If adequate housing is available within the commuting area of a DoD dependents
school and an appropriate educational program is available at that school, tuition will not be
authorized for the attendance of DoD dependent students in an approved non-DoD dependents school
in that same locality, except as authorized in paragraph E.1.c., above. DoD dependent students who
currently are enrolled in an approved non-DoD dependents school and who would be adversely
affected by this limitation may, at the discretion of the Director, DoDDS, or designee, be authorized
to continue in attendance in that approved non-DoD dependents school through the 1984-85 school
year, or until the rotation of the DoD sponsor out of the command, whichever is earlier.
e. Approved non-DoD dependents schools that are available free of charge and that offer
instructional programs in English should be used, if feasible, before contracting for education in
approved non-DoD dependents schools that charge tuition.
f. If no DoD dependents school within the commuting area of handicapped DoD
dependent student is able to provide an appropriate education to that student, DoDDS may place the
student in another DoD dependents school. If no appropriate DoD dependents school is reasonably
available, DoDDs then may place the student at U. S. Government expense in an approved non-DoD
dependents school overseas. DoDDS may place a handicapped DoD dependent student in an
approved non-DoD dependents school in the United States only if no appropriate school is reasonably
available overseas. DoDDS may not place a non-Dod dependent student in a DoD dependents school
at U.S. Government expense.
g. DoD dependent students who are the dependents of a DoD sponsor who is detained by
a foreign power or is declared missing in action or otherwise unlawfully detained may remain in a
DoD dependents school, or in an approved DoD dependents school, at U.S. Government expense or
as long as the detention or missing status exists, subject to the approval of the Director, DoDDS, or
designee.
h. DoD dependent students who are authorized attendance in a DoD dependents school or
an approved DoD dependents school may complete the current school year if the DoD sponsor is
transferred, dies, or retires during the school year, but subsequently shall lose their eligibility to
attend, except on a space-available, tuition-free basis in a DoD dependents school as prescribed in
paragraph E.3.b., below.
i. If DoD dependent students are authorized to accompany their DoD sponsor to the
country of the sponsor's assignment, such dependent students ordinarily will not be entitled to space-
required, tuition-free education in a DoD dependents school in a different overseas country or in
education in a non-DoD dependents school at U.S. Government expense in that ifferent country.
Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Director, DoDDS, or designee.
2. Space-Available, Tuition-Paying (Federally connected)
Under Section 1404(c) of the "Defense Dependents' Education Act of 1978" (reference
(c)), if the Director, DoDDS, or designee, determines that space is
