DAFI34-105 covers military-connected student education, public school leases, real property transactions, and coordination with state and local educational authorities. It requires a signed Letter to Proceed before certain proposal evaluations and sets requirements for school entities and installation leadership.
Applies to: This publication applies to the United States Space Force (USSF), Regular Air Force, the Air Force Reserve, and the Air National Guard.
Installation leadership must obtain a Letter to Proceed, signed by the Air Force Director of Services, prior to requesting the evaluation of a proposal to establish or renew an outgrant for a non-DoD public school on a DAF installation from Air Force Civil Engineer Center.
DAF installations will not enter into real estate transactions with private schools pursuant to this instruction.
The DAF does not have statutory authority to compel a state or local jurisdiction to provide free public education on or off a DAF installation.
Only school entities with the authority to determine school placement and type pursuant to state law for administering free public education will submit lease requests to operate non-DoD schools on DAF installations.
The school entity that requests the lease will provide the education.
