Setting the Pace in Washington, D.C.

The past school year was an exciting one for D.C. residents in general and public education reform in particular. A new president of the United States was elected and inaugurated, providing rich content for educators and students across subjects and grades, as well as a national focus on education reform in Washington, D.C.

President Barack Obama boldly stated his support for charter schools in his speeches, and by appointing a secretary of education who is also a strong supporter of charter schools. His ﬁrst visit to a school was to Capital City Public Charter School here in D.C. He told the school community their school is “an example of how all schools should be,” and that he would support replication of high achieving charter schools in communities all across the country. First Lady Michelle Obama gave her only high school commencement address for 2009 at Washington Math, Science and Technology Public Charter High School. She told those students they were “more than ready” for the achievements ahead and to take leadership roles in their communities. Mrs. Obama also participated in a Cinco de Mayo celebration hosted by Latin American Montessori Bilingual PCS and Next Step PCS, in which she encouraged students to design future careers where they could serve others.

President Obama and Secretary Arne Duncan titled one of their ambitious new education initiatives, “Race to the Top.” This initiative is intended to drive more expansion of charter school options in states throughout the U.S. and offers additional Federal funds to those states that best meet the Administration’s standards for achieving this goal. Though we have seen rapid growth in the quantity of D.C. charter schools, many of which are outstanding, we are now eager to see rapid growth in the quality of the charter school options, in our own local “Race to the Top.” We envision charter schools continuing to be pace leaders, inspiring a collective rise in the quality of all public schools, so that D.C. students and families will some day only have difﬁculty choosing between many great school options in a city full of high-performing schools of every type.

The National Association of Charter School Authorizers honored our organization with the 2009 Award for Excellence in Improving Practice, and Josephine Baker, our Executive Director, was named to the Charter School Hall of Fame by the National Alliance of Public Charter Schools. These honors were conﬁrmation that our ﬁrst priority of serving the best interests of students is well-placed and bearing fruit after twelve years of authorizing.

The recent standardized test results and exceptional high school graduation and college acceptance rates suggest that charter school students are graduating well-prepared for college and careers. Each June, when we acknowledge these graduates going off to many of the nation’s finest colleges and universities, we forget for a moment about the obstacles and challenges we all face in this citywide drive to bring D.C. public education to its full potential. We suddenly find new energy to keep the pace in our own race to the top, for the benefit of all D.C. students.

Application guidelines for the next cycle will be released in November 2009, new applications accepted through February 1, 2010, and board decisions made in April 2010. Any approved schools would open in August 2011. This new timeline would remain the same in the future.
