Description: 

My School DC and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education are holding a public meeting on Monday, March 13 from 6-7:30pm at the Francis A. Gregory Library (3660 Alabama Ave SE) to discuss the proposed walkability preference for public charter schools. The intent of the proposed preference is to improve access to walkable schools for our youngest students. The proposed preference would help families without a walkable by-right DCPS elementary school to access ​a nearby public charter school.

During the meeting, the My School DC team will describe how the proposed preference would work and the impact of implementing the preference on students and schools. The second half of the meeting will be dedicated to feedback regarding the proposal.
