From the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education:

“Since last October, an Advisory Committee of parents, community members, and other experts have been working with the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education to review student assignment policies, DCPS school boundaries, and feeder patterns. After months of work and community input, the Advisory Committee has developed a draft proposal for additional community discussion and feedback.

To get more information and share your feedback on these proposed changes, we invite you to:
