Questions & Answers, Q1) Are youth classes and events required to be performed during half term holidays?

A1) Please refer to PWS paragraphs 1.4.1.1.1 and 1.4.1.1.2 for when youth meetings are required to held. The

DoDEA Elementary School at RAF Croughton will permanently close beginning 9 June 2020, therefore being ‘in session’ will be based on the local UK school calendar.

Q2) Is contract performance required every Sunday?

A2) Please refer to PWS section 2.1. There is not a pre-set number of days of absence; however, this is a non-personal service contract, so the contractor is not an employee under the supervision of the chaplain corps.

It is understood that there will be days of absence. Please note that extended periods of absence may require the contractor to provide a substitute to perform the services, per PWS paragraph 2.1.2.

However, time spent on planning for classes/events is at the discretion of the contractor.
