Over the course of the five hour meeting, participants listened to presentations about the redevelopment process, discussed the retail mix of the future site, considered its look and feel, and discussed how the community could best take advantage of economic opportunities created by the redevelopment. When asked to evaluate the Town Meeting, 100 percent of participants said they had learned something from their participation in the Town Meeting. Eighty-four percent of participants rated the meeting as “excellent” or “good” (49 percent rating it as “excellent”.) Ninety-one percent of participants rated the use of technology at the Town Meeting as “excellent” or “good” (82 percent rating it as “excellent).

Similarly, 66 percent of participants said they were “very unsatisfied” with the physical condition of Skyland and 63 percent said they were “very unsatisfied” with the level of safety there. The heart of the meeting was a discussion of the future retail mix for the new Skyland Shopping Center. Participants first considered the kinds of stores that they would like to see in the site. After prioritizing the kinds of stores to go on the site, they identified specific brands for each of the top categories. -

The 2011 Test Security Binder was found to be organized and complete. The administrator of the flagged classroom, Ms. Mortimer, is regarded by students and the administration to be one of the school’s most effective teachers.

2019 LPF-Greater Washington Annual Report
2019 ANNUAL REPORT G r e a t e r W a s h i n g t o n A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR Supporters, Even after six years of running Leveling the Playing Field in Washington DC I am still in awe of the support from our local youth sports community. We are so fortunate to be able to engage members of the Greater Washington community on a daily basis who feel passionately about what participation in youth sports can do for young people. It is that continued passion that led to 2019 being yet another year of deep impact for our program. Whether it was a holiday collection at The St James, a fundraiser at District Taco or being chosen as the beneficiary of the annual Morgan Stanley Tee Off for Tots Charity Golf Tournament, the perpetual investment from the community has allowed us to continue providing free sports equipment to schools and youth programs throughout the DC area. Without the support from the Washington Capitals and local youth hockey families we would not have been able to help St Mary’s Ryken HS launch a girls JV hockey program. If the local little leagues were not so willing to invite us to run collection drives at their games we would not be able to ensure that little leagues in SE DC could provide their families with free gear and keep their registration fees affordable. Were it not for local private schools bringing students to our warehouse to volunteer we would not be able to ensure that Title I schools are able to offer enhanced PE programming and after school sports activities. -

I was and continue to be impressed with the passion, skill, and joy our educators bring to the classroom. The progress DCPS made in recent years was only possible because of the extraordinary talent assembled here. Our schools and city are fortunate to have you, and we want you to feel supported and sustained in your careers. Recently, the National Council on Teacher Quality recognized DCPS as a Great District for Great Teachers, with an outstanding designation. We received this distinction for several reasons, one of which is the Leadership Initiative for Teachers career ladder, or LIFT. Through LIFT, exceptional teachers are recognized and rewarded for their continued service to DCPS. Because LIFT provides opportunities for teachers to take on leadership roles without having to leave the classroom, students directly benefit from their teachers’ professional growth. In order to continue that success, we must remain focused on ensuring excellence and equity throughout the district.
