District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) Chancellor Kaya Henderson said recently that just 13 percent of students who attended the 15 schools that have been slated for closure in July, have signed up for re-enrollment at another city school when classes resume this fall.
Citing efforts by DCPS officials to beef up its student recruitment campaign this summer, Henderson, who initially mandated the closing of 20 neighborhood schools late last year primarily because of under-utilized buildings and low test scores, said her "Transition Marketing and Recruitment Plan," focuses on getting at least 80 percent of the displaced students to re-enroll at other District public schools.
