From DCPS:
“The Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education (DME) is conducting a Boundary and Student Assignment Study 2023 (“Boundary Study”) to review DC Public School (DCPS) boundaries and feeder patterns and District-wide public school student assignment policies.
The Boundary Study will develop recommendations based on analytic findings and public input, while affirmatively advancing racial and socioeconomic equity in public schools in Washington, DC. This will be the first update since 2013-2014, when Washington, DC undertook its first comprehensive review of student assignment in four decades. The DME is running a Master Facilities Plan study concurrently and both studies will share foundational information.
DME has contracted with a team led by Perkins Eastman including WXY Studio, The D.C. Policy Center, and LINK Strategic Partners to support both studies. Additionally, DME is compiling helpful resources on a Boundary Study Resource page.”
