Thirty years ago, DC's public charter school sector was just a bold idea. Since then, thousands of students have walked through DC charter school doors.

Strong schools require strong investments - and a clear understanding of how those investments reach students.
As #DC continues investing in public education, keeping equity at the center means making sure every student has the resources they need to learn, grow, and succeed.

The path to graduation should prepare students for more than a diploma - it should prepare them for what comes next.
With new graduation requirements approved by @DCSBOE, #DC students will see changes to the high school experience, including a greater focus on real-world skills and more flexibility in how they earn credits.
More pathways. More practical skills. More possibilities.🎓

What makes students want to show up? Sometimes, the best people to ask are the students themselves.
Six @SeatonDC Elementary students sat down with #DC education leaders to share what makes them feel connected, supported, and like they truly belong at school.
Their message was clear: belonging matters. And when we listen to students, we can build schools they want to be part of.

25 years later, we remember the lives, the families, and the futures forever changed by #9/11.
And here in #DC, we remember six of our own: students Asia Cottom, Bernard Brown, and Rodney Dickens, and teachers Hilda Taylor, Sarah Clark, and James Debeuneure.
Forever in our hearts. Forever part of our city’s story.🤍

The numbers tell a story of real momentum for #DC students. 📊
New analysis from Josh Boots of @empowerk12 shows that post-pandemic math gains are outpacing pre-pandemic progress in nearly every grade, while fewer students are scoring at the lowest performance levels.
The takeaway is clear: sustained investment in students, educators, and proven supports is working. The work now is to protect that progress and keep investing in every #DC student.

“This levels the playing ground, and that is exactly what needed to happen.” - Principal Niya White
DC’s first-ever centralized School Safety Office is bringing schools, agencies and resources together - giving educators better access to the support they need when safety concerns arise.
A meaningful step toward safer, stronger school communities across the #District.
