Report: Charters should accommodate students of closing DCPS schools

A task force of city and school leaders is recommending that District charter schools reserve seats next year for students who attend neighboring DC Public Schools campuses that have been recommended for closure.

The task force, which includes DCPS Chancellor Kaya Henderson, DC Public Charter School Board Chairman Brian Jones and Washington Teachers’ Union President Nathan Saunders, among others, said in a 46-page report that they believe this would “ease the transition for students, families and communities impacted by these closures.”
