There’s a lot going on today between the Impeachment hearing & preparing to watch the Dems debate tonight. We know our youth care a lot about the facts & making their own decisions about what’s happening with politics...so maybe this debate infographic will help a little...

Today YUC member Mikayla Brown asked the school board why commitments that had been made by district officials had not been put into place when they were supposed to be and why no one had been responding to our requests for updates. #phled

DC has a robust system of school choice. But some families still have a real estate based advantage. What could happen if we shifted policy to allow school enrollment to be driven by equity? Does DC have the courage & political will to do it? I hope so. blogs.edweek.org/edweek/rick…
How to Make School Choice More Equitable (Opinion)

How to Make School Choice More Equitable (Opinion)

Reserving seats for vulnerable, at-risk students would mean fewer chances for other students to enroll in sought-after schools. Guest blogger Jessica Sutter explains why that trade-off is worthwhile.
