We are the Detroit Association of Educational Office Employees (DAEOE), an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers. We don’t work in the classroom, but the classroom wouldn’t work without us.
Our members have dedicated years of time, hard work and attention to make sure our schools run efficiently and effectively, and provide high-quality educational services for Detroit’s students and their families.
Our years of dedicated service to the Detroit Public Schools (DPS) and now Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) have given us valuable experience and motivation for school reform.
We know our schools can be improved, and we believe in the potential for success.
We have invested in Detroit’s schools, and we know that strong schools are essential to building a stronger community.
