-A 2015 editorial of the ''[[Minneapolis Star-Tribune]]'' noted that schools in the DoDEA, were well funded, partly due to post-[[September 11 attacks]] security concerns and partly because of the size of the DOD itself, as well as the leadership of [[Robert Gates]], who served as the Secretary of Defense.
